Just so you guys can see exactly what I'm talking about - the top row is the 3 teams I faced last round. The pics below are the top 4 in the division and another random top 15. With the exception that I actually faced the division winner last round, I think you can see the there is no way those top teams are seeing the competition I did. Those teams that finished at the top were not consistently playing that level opponent.
So I won 2 of 3 matches last round. Obviously the guy that won overall beat me. I can look at his team and see how I need to improve myself to have a better chance against him. Not the same with the others. They are clearly not facing the same competition.
Still: The players are matched by matchmaking GP - not by which characters they have or their "ability to put together decent teams". Players are matched by the GP of their top-X characters - disregarding what teams or characters they have avaliable. X is the number of defensive squad slots multiplied by 10 - and fleet GP also plays some role.
A player with low matchmaking GP is matched with other players of low matchmaking GP - never with players with high matchmaking GP. That's why you see the matches and leader boards you see.
