Territory War - 6000 minimum GP

When the matchmaking process takes places do characters that fall below the 6000 minimum GP get factored in? It seems GP is a big factor in the matchmaking process with Character and Ships being the main contributor. I also wonder if Character and Ships are separate in the overall GP matchmaking with each player needing to set up and defeat 4 squads of characters and 1 fleet. In theory everyone in a guild should be able to defeat 1 fleet with the amount of capital ships available. I wonder if limiting the GP of ships would give a certain advantage because it seems certain character boost the overall GP by a significant amount. Since we don't know the full extent to what contribute to the matchmaking of Territory War there is a lot to speculate. Thanks for reading and replying.
