What is wrong with:

4 vs 1
5 vs 2
3 vs 6

Keeping 1 and 2 in rating order versus 4 and 5. Especially since 4 and 2 have
already played.

Grant,

I agree. That's the pairing that made sense to me when I was looking at
alternatives (it is the only alternative).

However, I can't find a way to justify breaking 29D1, which says to drop Player
4 in this situation. What rule takes higher precedence?
