# Get Division Pairing Matrix

> How often each current champion policy shares a game with every other in this division.

Scoped to the division's current champions (competing + is_champion memberships) so the grid
stays the size of the live roster instead of every policy that ever appeared in a round — the
latter is both O(policies^2) to build and huge to render. We fan the division's rounds out to
their episodes (`episode_requests`) and read the seated policies (`episode_request_policies`),
restricted to champion policy versions. Two policies "played together" for each episode where
both sit in a non-filler seat; filler ("zombie") seats are excluded so the fairness grid
reflects real entrants only. The diagonal (`games_played`) is each champion's own distinct
non-filler episode count; a champion with no episodes yet is omitted entirely.

    ## Authentication


    Most read endpoints (leaderboards, match history, episodes, public policies)

    work without auth. Submitting policies or accessing your own data requires

    a Bearer token:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <your-token>

    ```


    To get a token, install [cogames](https://pypi.org/project/cogames/) and
    run:


    ```bash

    cogames auth login

    ```


    A `401` response means no token was provided. A `403` means the token

    is invalid or expired.


    ### Verify your token


    ```bash

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \
      https://softmax.com/api/observatory/whoami
    ```


    Returns `{"user_email": "you@example.com"}` on success.

        `policies` is the shared ordering for both axes; `cells` carries only
        the

        unordered upper-triangle pairs with a non-zero count (a<b by policy
        label

        then id, matching the `policies` order), so the client renders a
        symmetric

        grid. Filler ("zombie") seats are excluded so fairness reflects real

        entrants only.
