Lobby Pairings

Hi all. My apologies in advance if someone has already asked this question.
When I set my lobby filter to rated bullet matches only, why does my lobby only show two or three matches to pair with when there are probably tens of thousands of bullet games that are available.
I mainly play 1/2 + 0, so it's slightly annoying to have to wait for multiple lobby refreshes until a 1/2 + 0 games up.

My guess is that it's not a popular time control. Others may be able to chime in, but when the main buttons on the website have 1+0 as the shortest time, that is a big deterrent for anyone making a 1/2+0 custom game.

Seems there just aren't tens of thousands of bullet opponents waiting.

88,908 players
38,944 games in play

presumably means at most 11K unpaired players looking for a game, the majority of whom are probably not playing bullet (least popular time control acc/to weekly active players) and not in the lobby (but quickpairing)?

Hyper is usually played by very high rated players. At your level, which is mine, I imagine 1+0 is the most played tc in bullet so if you want to play a lot of hyper I'd suggest playing in an arena.
