Matchpool Development Roadmap
Overview
Greetings community and happy New Year! We’re happy to release our development roadmap for the first quarter of 2019. During this phase of development, our team will work on adding new features to our platform. These features will: allow pool admins to suggest matches, allow users to post bounty requests, enable matches to be made outside of pools and include the implementation of a new matching type. The team will also resolve several bugs and markedly improve the platform’s UI, giving users a more clean and immersive matchmaking experience. Overall, Q1 of 2019 will be a busy time for us. We’re delighted to be delivering new tools and improvements to our platform and enhance the user experience.
Phase 1 — January 1st — 31st

ii. User C will only be able to match User A (requesting) with User B (requested) if User C is already matched with User B.

d. Once someone replies to a match request, the request will be locked, preventing other users from responding to it until User A decides to reject the match.
