Called during the main matchmaking loop. The PotentialMatch represents a collection of parties that could form the teams for a match. The Matchable are parties that could be added to the PotentialMatch. This method is called many times, evaluating each party that has joined the matchmaking queue. If the PotentialMatch is marked as ready to start, it will be removed from the matchmaking queue and sent to the game server. If a PotentialMatch is compared against every other Matchable in the queue and not marked as ready to start, the next matchmaking loop will run with a new PotentialMatch seeded with a different set of parties. | |
