The reason for this is that matches can take a lot longer if each pair is using a different set of 50 cards (there'd be a lot more pausing so that players can retrieve cards etc).
So, as Anh Minh implies, it also applies for the individual matches in the High School tournament - all the matches taking place in the same location, with the same reader, use the same 50 cards (though these 50 are randomly split between each pair). It's the organisers who set it all up, it seems.

The minimum amount of continuously live card reading that can determine a winner is 13. This involves a player taking the right card while his opponent touches the wrong card 13 times in a row this creates a two card lead per reading.  |
The opponent would actually have to be touching a card on the wrong side of the field (i.e. on the opposite side to the read card), as it's not a fault if he/she touches a card on the same side as the read card.
So yeah, near impossible
