Strange pairings in the blitz tournament

Unless you wait for everyone to finish their game and start a new round those kind of things are bound to happen. Especially when the pairing between the available players match against rating and not against color. Maybe some people would like a swiss tournament pairing system, or an option to the current system that match against color and not elo ?
In that particular tournament there were only seven games at all, six by me, in all of which I had to play Black, so I have the strong feeling that colors don't play any role at all when determining new pairings ;-) Probably it evens out in the long run :-)
