Abstract: A quick or limited matching process can be used to quickly get players of a gaming application into an active game session. In order to improve the quality of the match for a subsequent game session, a longer-running match process can be utilized while players are engaged in a current game session. A pool of players likely to be available around the time at which a current game session will end is determined. The longer-running match process can analyze the data for the player pool to determine matches of players for one or more future game sessions. Information for these sessions can be provided to the relevant players, who are then enabled to join in the respective sessions. Such a process provides for more flexibility and accuracy in the matching process without extending the player wait times endured.
