Yep. Pretty much the machine draw would be weighted depending on how many times each player played a machine.
For example, say a match had to be drawn at Foggy Notion with every machine available. Player A has played Creature 2x and Avatar 1x, Player B has played Creature 1x, Avatar 1x and Earthshaker 1x. The algorithm would add all those counts together and weight the probability accordingly. When it decides the machine, Roadshow has a 50% chance of being drawn, Earthshaker 25%, Avatar 15% and Creature 10%.
There could even be caps on how many times a player could play a machine so many times in a row or so many times ever in one tournament. Yay code!
