Design a FlexMatch rule set
This topic covers the basic structure of a rule set and how to build a rule set for small matches up to 40 players. A matchmaking rule set does two things: lay out a match's team structure and size and tell the matchmaker how to choose players to form the best possible match.

-
Optimize the matchmaking algorithm for your game.
-
Set up minimum player latency requirements to protect the quality of gameplay.
-
Gradually relax team requirements and match rules over time so all active players can find an acceptable match when they want one.
-
Define handling for group matchmaking requests using party aggregation.
-
Process large matches of 40 or more players. For more information about building large matches, see Design a FlexMatch large-match rule set.

You can build your rule set using the Amazon GameLift console or the CreateMatchmakingRuleSet operation.
