Design a FlexMatch large-match rule set

If your rule set creates matches that allow 41 to 200 players, you need to make some adjustments to your rule set configuration. These adjustments optimize the match algorithm so that it can build viable large matches while also keeping player wait times short. As a result, large match rule sets replace time-consuming custom rules with standard solutions that are optimized for common matchmaking priorities.

Here's how to determine if you need to optimize your rule set for large matches:

  1. For each team defined in your rule set, get the value of maxPlayer,

  2. Add up all the maxPlayer values. If the total exceeds 40, you've got a large match rule set.

To optimize your rule set for large matches, make the adjustments described as follows. See the schema for a large match rule set in Rule set schema for large matches and rule set examples in Example: Create a large match.
