Matchmaking and Presets Clarification

The FAQ says: Matchmaking will be determined by the Squad Preset(s) you select before starting a Battle.

Is this talking about the checkboxes you have access too in your hanger or the selection you do right before picking your first mech in a battle?

Assuming that it is the first one, if I have one preset at 2000 SP and another at 6000 SP (both are checked as options for the match, which SP is used for matchmaking?  I assume the higher one, but want to make certain I know the rules before I start working my achievements again.

Thanks

It uses the higher power one for matchmaking. Deselect all but the one you're going to if there's a drastic disparity in power.

It's mainly used for different loadouts with similar sp so you can choose depending on the map.

Sorry, but I'd still like CD to weigh in on this.  I know it used to use the higher power hanger for match making, but now things are supposed to be different.  I'd like to make certain I understand it all.

Thank you though!!

It's about the checkboxes ☑️

Talking about your example, the 6k SP preset will be considered by the Matchmaking system. 

However, if you, for example, have 3k, 6k, and 6k SP presets, and have checked as an option for the Match only the 3k one, the Matchmaking will ignore the others (you won't be able to use them accordingly). If you checked only 2 of them, the third one will be ignored.
