Overview: This paper is about the developing and testing of online algorithms for automatic game matching in online games. The algorithms match the most suitable fellow players that arrive within a certain time period. This process is called as criteria based matching process whereas criteria might be for example the game level of a player or his geographical location. The paper shows that the algorithms achieve fairly average case matching compared to a fictitious optimal algorithm. The costs are about 40% above the optimum.
