Parlaye leverages a unique matching algorithm that will start to match your entries 30 minutes hours prior to their start time.
For example, if your entry contain picks that start at 7:00 PM, we will start matching your entries at 6:30 PM. So if you have submitted your entries earlier in the day, no need to be concerned! We will also send you a mobile push notification once we have matched your entries so be sure to turn those on.
This is done in the hopes of matching you with the an optimal opponent instead of matching you with a random entry. In terms of who we match you with and why, here are some of the factors our algorithm considers:
Entry fee,
The picks and what sport they are associated to,
Entries that are identical are not matched.
The entry start and end time,
We also look to not match you with people that have the same picks as you to avoid ties and such.
