I don't get how that is going to produce a different result from alphabetical. At every tournament you are going to be "42" and so will the other 42s, so whenever they show up, you're playing with them, just like Zadarecky playing with Zandstra.
It will produce a result that is seemingly random to those who want a random draw, but is also has a system to it so you can have an excuse for not making designer groups.
In Iowa, players with 00 for their two digits might not like this system so much.
