What do the matching preferences mean?

Our matching preferences let you define an action to take when we are unable to find a match in your selected group. They are defined in priority order, so Domestic > Drop would mean 'drop me from this exchange if you can't find a domestic match', whilst Domestic > International would mean 'try and find me an international match if you can't find a domestic one, but drop me instead of bumping me to worldwide'.

The matching groups for international can be found on our matching groups page.
