Tournament matching

How does the tournament matching work?

I got paired with someone 500 points higher than me. I thought maybe there was a shortage of players in my ratings range. But I went to watch another game in the tournament, and saw another player with a similar rating matched with someone 500 points higher than them.

Okie. Maybe the matching isn't so bad. I got matched with someone 700 points higher and managed to eek out a draw:

maybe he had a vanity rating and chess.com knew it.
