Define match teams
Describe the structure and size of the teams for a match. Each match must have at least one team, and you can define as many teams as you want. Your teams can have the same number of players or be asymmetric. For example, you might define a single-player monster team and a hunters team with 10 players.
FlexMatch processes match requests as either small match or large match, based on how the rule set defines team sizes. Potential matches of up to 40 players are small matches, matches with more than 40 players are large matches. To determine a rule set's potential match size, add up the maxPlayer settings for all teams defined in the rule set.
-
name (required) – Assign each team a unique name. You use this name in rules and expansions, and FlexMatch references for the matchmaking data in a game session.
-
maxPlayers (required) – Specify the maximum number of players to assign to the team.
-
minPlayers (required) – Specify the minimum number of players to assign to the team.
-
quantity (optional) – Specify the number of team to make with this definition. When FlexMatch creates a match, it gives these teams the provided name with an appended number. For example
Red-Team1,Red-Team2, andRed-Team3.
FlexMatch attempts to fill teams to the maximum player size but does create teams with
fewer players. If you want all teams in the match to be equally sized, you can create a
rule for that. See the FlexMatch rule set examples
topic for an example of an EqualTeamSizes rule.
