How does the matchmaking work?

Papaya uses skill matching to pair customers with other players with similar skill.  Matching up a beginner or intermediate player with an expert player is not fun for either player, therefore we try to find you opponents who are near your level of play.  Skill levels are determined separately for each game and updated after each contest.  

As your skill level increases, the difficulty of your matchups will continue to increase.  Your opponents will not all have the exact same skill level as you – you will often be matched with players of slightly greater or lesser skill. As you win more contests, your matchups will keep getting harder.  For further details – see our Terms of Use.
