So I'm a little bi curious as to whether or not trials is skill based. If it is, then can someone who actually knows what they are talking about explain the bracket for the skill set. I am an elo score of 1600 with a kd of .9 and a dtr score of like 28 I think. Why am I being placed with people who have an elo of 2200 kd of 2.5+ and dtr of 50. Those scores are no where near my skill level. I have been to the lighthouse 14 times and of which 4 this year. ZERO CARRIES because I'm not a scrub I make my way to the lighthouse with my brother who's kd is a 1.06 and a friend who's kd is 1.1 at best. So am I good at trials... I'd like to think so saying as many people have not and need to pay to make it there but no I am not in the God tier that this -blam!-ed up game keeps putting me in. And it's not just on 8-0 its first game, second game, any random game I get railed by these try hard God tier players who are carrying poor saps who can't make it with their friends. So with all my rant in mind.... What in the flying -blam!- is the bracket for these skills and why the hell am i being matched up against Jesus himself.

It's based around the number of wins on your card. It will always go by the highest number of wins across the 3 players in a fireteam. Example - I do carries, when me and my Partner reach 7 wins (no boons), the guy we are helping will be on 9 (with boons), it'll match based off that guys 9th game. Trials is (or certainly was up until recent MM changes) one of the most casual playlists, since it's based on your card and not skill.
