There is something wrong with tournaments.  So, I enter a 5|0 <1199 tournament and I get a 0-point bye.  After that I get 2 players over 900 and I am a 600.  Then I get a 1-point bye (I got lucky) and I get 2 players over 1000!  Next tournament today was the same kind of tournament.  I got a 1100 elo, a 1-point bye, and 2 1000 elo people.  Please fix this.

The 0 point bye mean you either joined after it started or the server didn't see your client connected when pairings were done.

Other than that, the site uses standard Swiss pairings so you'll be paired based on your score and likely will get paired with higher rated players in many rounds.
