American Options & Exercising Early


If for whatever reason, say 50% of the options at a given strike price and date for a given stock get exercised early, who/what determines exactly which option sellers have their contract fulfilled and which don’t? Are all option sales a rigid link between the exact seller and the exact buyer? If so, I assume there’s no way to identify the other side that you’re linked to?
