How Map Pools Are Calculated
When both teams have preferences:
- System analyzes both teams’ selections
- Weighted random selection determines final maps
- Maps preferred by both teams are more likely
- Final pool fairly represents both teams
Hosting
The host team controls the lobby for each map:
- Sets lobby code for opponents to join
- Can pass hosting to opponent using “Pass Host”
- Hosting typically alternates between maps
Setting a Lobby Code
After a match is accepted:
- Go to the match page
- Enter lobby code in the designated field
- Opponent sees the code and joins
Only the hosting team can set/update the lobby code for their maps.
Roster Selection
When creating a match:
- Select Active Roster players (minimum 1)
- Select Bench players as backups (optional)
- Set bench priority
Players must have required gaming connections linked (e.g., Activision for CoD).
Attendance Status
Players can set their availability:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| Attending | Confirmed to play |
| Not Attending | Cannot participate |
| Tentative | Might be available |
