If there were an option to avoid playing clubmates at tourneys, would you want this? Score can do it, but would it make everything a bit too random? You can do it for the first few rounds then turn it off?

I've considered doing it for round 1, but not after that.

Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.
To be frank I think the terms would really have to be narrowed for serious disscussion. If it's a 40 person tournament and there is 3 from a club that's one thing. If its a 20 man tournament and there is 6 from a club that's pretty different.

In the last 5 tournaments I have played my clubmates 5 times and they didnt go to 1 of them. Tbh im not all that fussed if I have to play them. Theres an added incentive to win and its good banter between us. If im that bothered I'll go to tournies without them xD
Reason:''
4 catchers and a thrower with hail mary pass, what could possibly go wrong?
Like the majority I am happy and like to play club mates.
Perhaps it depends on your league as well? In ECBBL there are potentially 24/30 of us in 3 divisions so its possible (and happened) that I dont get to play a particular person for several years. (that is four seasons). So a tournament might be the only chance we get to play each other.....
Every tournament I run I allow anyone to be reassigned in ONLY Round 1 if they are randomly assigned a club mate ... after that it is based on the Swiss draw based on points.
So I like doing it for round 1 ... but definitely not after that.

If you go to lots of tournaments then you probably don't care about playing a local friend during the first round. The flip side is that if you don't go to lots of tournaments then it might be a bit disappointing to have to play against someone you face every other week.
