That is pretty much how I word my tournament announcements when I intend to do this. It’s usually in the form of cross section pairings (unless it would be a complete mis-match ratings-wise), and I’ve never had any push back on it. I also try to actually include the pairing on the pairing sheets when they’re posted, rather than “see TD” and they’ve always shown up for their game. Sometimes the lower section player does come ask me why their board is located in the upper section area 
.
Does he also ask why his pairing is on the upper section pairing sheet? Or do you manage to include it on the lower section pairing sheet as well?

Actually, yes I do, hand written. I cross out the “see TD” wording so they don’t just assume they have a bye.
Ooh. You could have been even more elegant, by including the cross-section pairing in both sections, so it would appear on both pairing lists without being hand written. (This would involve adding the top player to the bottom section and vice versa.) Of course, before submitting the event for rating you’d have to remove one of the two pairings, otherwise the game would be rated twice.
How’s that for perfection? Micah Smith would be proud.

Well, I like that from an appearance perspective if time would permit (it often doesn’t), but then it requires me to remember to do something out of the ordinary later, which isn’t terribly appealing. Knowing me, I’d probably forget
