Each player picks one course and that makes up the set up 35 courses everyone plays in the same order (barring the user of warp zones). Earlier game courses tend to show up earlier in the queue. So 1-1 is more likely to be one of the first levels that shows up and 8-4 tends to show up deep in the queue. The game tries to avoid putting the same level twice in a row so normally if you beat 1-1 the next level won't be 1-1.

Warp zones let you jump ahead in the queue. If you exit 1-2 normally you go to the next level. If you take the far right pipe you skip one level. Middle pipe skips 2 levels and the far left pipe skips 3 levels.

My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.
