My observation is that the game uses your starting points when calculating the grid start and not actual points. For example, I start to play with 870 points and the game will match me with similar players, but the grid will depend on their starting points. So if I started at 870 points and got to 1070 points, the game will put me in front of all the players that had starting points above 870 regardless of how many points they have at the match making process. Only when you exit to the main screen and the points update there it is that points that will be used in the match making process. I first noticed this behaviour a while ago when starting to play at 500 points and when I got to 800 or more points, I was still being matched with players that are around 500 points. I saw, that if I exited to the main screen and then back in again, I was again matched to players that had similar points than me. So this is my experience... That was the criteria until a couple of updates back, definitely.

But now I am pretty sure that it has changed. And it sure feels like some experiments are being done, because placements looks a bit random to me...
