First the question regarding pairings.

End of round 1 TPs is 8, 8, 7, 4, 3. Pairings would be 8/8 7/4 3(bye) now 7/4 played round one.

Do you do 8/8 7/3 4(bye) or 8/7 8/4 3(bye)

Now Thoughts.

Kudos to FFG. Changes to flotillas, relay, and some other things in the last FAQ have made this version of armada the best it has ever been. The game is so good right now. There are still some balance issues with upgrades i feel but overall the game is one of the best balanced, best experiences on the market for miniature wargaming.

Having only 5 would be rough. At that point I'd actually suggest the to step in to play and deputize one of the others so s/he can play the 7 but otherwise 8 7, 8 4, 3/b

You have to scroll down from the top score to the bottom sorting things out as you go. 8/8, 7/3, 4(bye)

We had something like that happen with our last fleet patrol tournament. Only it was 10/8, 6/1, 5(bye).

It seems kinda dumb, but that's the tournament rules and unless you all agree to change how you'll do seeding before the tournament, you've got to go by the rules.

Edit: The bye wound up with the 2nd place prize.
