Chris, what I do in my Uni (which I'm sure has a much smaller number of active fighters than yours because the rankings list doesn't go much below the top 30 in most cases) is match up guys roughly based on the following criteria: (1) who's available that month, (2) who has similar rankings (looking at pp, not the boxer rating), (3) guys on a roll with a win last bout tend to face each other, and (4) guys who haven't met before tend to face each other. I don't use any elaborate spreadsheet "system" or die-rolling, it's just seat-of-the-pants looking at what matches make sense. I.e., if a guy holds a regional belt and there's another guy doing well in the same region, he challenges for the belt. Of course, there's exceptions, like if two fighters had a weird result or close bout the last time (i.e. a stoppage on cuts, a foul, or a draw or split decision) the likelihood I would match them up again is alot greater than otherwise.

Don't know how to program this in a computerized exercise, but these are just the factors I look at.
