3 blue vs 6 blue?

balancer loves us Cat

This isn't how the balancer works. I can't remember whether it adds a dummy player with rating equal to the average of all players or just directly considers the average rating of both teams, but in either case it does not count the double-com player twice.

Most of the dark blues on team 2 are at the lower end of the dark-blue range, whereas CatMaster is near purple and 4hundred is fairly highly rated as well. It also seems like team 1 has a somewhat stronger supporting cast.

As I understand things the code is here:

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/blob/master/ZkLobbyServer/SpringieInterface/Balancer.cs

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/blob/master/ZkLobbyServer/SpringieInterface/PartitionBalance.cs

This around line 95 of the second link suggests that a dummy player is added:

if (players.Count % 2 != 0)
            {
                //Pad teams to an even number
                players.Add(new PlayerItem(-1, players.Average(x => x.Elo), null, null));
            }

I'm not sure if anybody besides DeinFreund is familiar enough with how it currently works to write a wiki page without substantial effort. The code comments suggest that it is based on http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~bart/cs510ai/papers/korf-ckk.pdf Section 2.2.
