Here is one way to make groups of similar strength (provided players are seeded):
Two groups
A: 1, 4, 5, 8, 9
B: 2, 3, 6, 7, 10
Three groups:
A: 1, 6, 7, 12, 13
B: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14
C: 3, 4, 9, 10, 15
Four groups:
A: 1, 8, 9, 16, 17
B: 2, 7, 10, 15, 18
C: 3, 6, 11, 14, 19
D: 4, 5, 12, 13, 20
n groups
A: 1, 2n, 2n+1, 4n, etc.
B: 2, 2n-1, 2n+2, 4n-1, etc.
C: 3, 2n-2, 2n+3, 4n-2, etc.
...
X: n-2, n+3, 3n-2, 3n+3, etc.
Y: n-1, n+2, 3n-1, 3n+2, etc.
Z: n, n+1, 3n, 3n+1, etc.
If the number of players is not divisible with the number of groups, just distribute the players that are there. The groups will still be relatively well matched.
If more players share the same seed, e.g. two players are both seeded 7-8, then just draw lots (or cards) who will be in spot no 7, and who will be in spot no 8.
