# Easy Matchmaking

Rocket Networking comes equipped with a very easy to use matchmaking system.

What is a match? In terms of Rocket Networking, it is an RNet room right? Because players/clients in that RNet room will be able to "see" each other.

So matchmaking is just the problem of taking players/clients from some lobby (which is also a RNet room), pair them up or make a set of them and put them in this "match" RNet room. And every "match" must be a different RNet room.

## Auto Matchmaking System

If a client wants to be in the matchmaking lobby waiting, all they have to do is `ChangeRoom()` to the room name `"auto_matchmake_<size>"` , where size is the number of players that should be in your match. \
For example `ChangeRoom("auto_matchmake_2")`

Every 10 seconds, all the players in the room "auto\_matchmake\_2" will be paired up and put into some other rooms called `"auto_match_<someuniqueidentifier>"` like `"auto_match_Lb5vJ8"` and so on.

So if there are 7 players waiting in room `"auto_matchmake_2"` , then 3 pairs will be created and put into 3 different rooms like `"auto_match_7BjvM7"`,  `"auto_match_vmdk8"`, `"auto_match_osm4m"`, and 1 player will not be matched(because there is no one to match this player with) and will stay in waiting.

You can do this for a match of any size.
