Board Game Arena

Im sitting at bronze with 0 points and 3 of my last 4 games have been front page people...like 3 people who i have seen as the reigning champions in my time here. All Elite level players with ELOs almost double mine...

Can someone tell me how arena matchmaking works and if i should keep even trying?

Its killing any desire i have to play arena games...i dont mind losing...but id at least like a match I feel i could win...
