An allocation is a request to the Clanforge API for the best possible game server for a game match. Allocation requests are part of the allocation system Clanforge offers. The allocation system works with a matchmaker to connect a group of players to the best possible game server for their game match while taking into account:
- The game server location
- The quality of the connection between the game server and the game client
- The game version of the game server
- The cost score of the machine that’s hosting the game server
- The map types of the game server
