@MarkCiliaVincenti these are the 'backup' pairings that are used in case the real ones are not available. Real pairings been provided since the 2018/19 season. Example.
Cheers, but what is provisionally being used at the moment please?

Hi, thanks for the project, it works really well but you have a problem with your assumption of TV pairings.
Let's look at pairings in previous years.
2018-19: Real Madrid & Barcelona Atletico Madrid & Valencia Bayern Munich & Borussia Dortmund Manchester City & Tottenham Hotspur Juventus & Inter Paris Saint-Germain & Lyon Lokomotiv Moscow & CSKA Moscow Porto & Benfica Manchester United & Liverpool Napoli & Roma Schalke 04 & Hoffenheim Ajax & PSV Eindhoven
2020-21: Liverpool & Manchester United Manchester City & Chelsea Real Madrid & Barcelona Sevilla & Atletico Madrid PSG & Olympique Marseille Bayern & BVB Leipzig & Borussia M. Juventus & Inter Atalanta & Lazio Zenit & Lokomotiv Moscow Shakhtar & Dinamo Kiev
You immediately notice one thing: no club is in there twice, and clubs from the same country are split up as much as possible to avoid the situation where 3 clubs from the same country could end up playing on the same day while 1 club from the same country plays on a different day.
Therefore I'm not quite sure about your pairings in https://github.com/inker/draw/blob/master/src/data/pairings.json
