Some folks just have issues with different wrestling styles and different body styles so it is natural to not want to face them. Similar to basketball where your team may not be good against a zone-defensive laden team (like a Syracuse or the old Temple teams) and they can create a really tough matchup if your team is weak on outside shooting and operating in the half court offensively.

Some guys, you would rather face later in a tournament while some, you may want to face sooner because of weight control issues. Some wrestlers suck back a lot of weight to get under on the scales so it is advantageous to meet them in the morning of Day 2 versus at night on Day 2 after they have ate and hydrated all day.
