Can you prevent an open challenge to be automatched? [Answered: they are actually separate systems]

I mean I liked it because it probably explains why you can get different variations of rulesets and handicap with automatch.

If you have no preference say, and someone else does but they meet your rank requirements then I assume it probably matches you up.

I don’t think the automatch matches with the custom challenges.

Edit: @teapoweredrobot already linked the same thread

It doesn’t seem to say that’s how it worked when it was introduced

but maybe that might give an insight into some wait times.
