TW matchmaking [MERGE]

Our first match was with a 52m guild the next is 59m. We sit at around 55m on tw. We wiped the floor with the last and we are getting wiped this time. Seems like we need a tighter algorithm if it's j...

There's a lot of possible error in looking up your opponent on the Guild search or swgoh.gg.
First, if not everyone's registered at swgoh.gg, then there will be a lot of GP missing. Second, you have no idea who signed up to be in the TW (big unknown there). And finally, what is the total GP from heroes <6k that can't participate? I'm not sure if the matchmaking takes this GP into account or not; over 50 people that portion of unused GP could add to a lot.

this last TW we were bracketed in the 25-29 million slot and based on total gp for each person we could only get there if it counted <6k toons too. In the first TW we also bumped up our award bracket by leveling up all our trash toons to level 50. I'm fairly certain matchmaking therefore counts trash toons that can't even be used in TW when it's figuring out who to match you against.

This means doing well in TB (which requires boosting trash toons for extra GP) actively hurts you in TW matchmaking by considering toons that aren't even eligible for use. Matchmaking needs to be redone to only count the GP of g9+ toons (that is only the toons you've clearly put resources into making combat effective; you might boost trash to g8 for TB deployment points but barring whale status probably don't boost trash to g9+).
