Splatoon making some Splatfest cat/dog teams face off against the same team

With North America's Splatoon Splatfest, it's supposed to be team cat vs. team dog. Most of the time, that's how things work out. Unfortunately it seems sometimes there's an issue where two cat teams or two dog teams are made to face each other. Nintendo is aware of this issue and has said it was implemented to speed up matchmaking.
