Shadowrun

On the official Shadowrun  forums, Bill Fulton has answered our questions yet again. This time he explains how parties affect matchmaking and the auto-balancing system.

Parties will only be split as an absolute last resort to keep the match balanced.

If a party gets split, it will be reunited at the first opportunity where it won’t unbalance the match. 

He goes into much greater detail on the matter in his original post.
