Abstract

Dynamic role selection of players for different roles in multiplayer gaming sessions is provided. Users seeking to participate in different roles in the game may request participation in the role. Selection of players for roles is made dynamically by varying a selection component for different sessions of the game. The selection component may be a user's game score over different time periods, and can be rotated for different sessions of the game, so that various levels of players have an opportunity to fill game roles.
