I reckon I've never been able to see Shared Matches < 20 cM and I certainly havent been able to see them this week. And I've had Pro Tools for ever too!! Ancestry seems to be a very inequitable company at times!!! ???

With Pro Tools you should see shared matches below 20cM.

Biggles - am I correct in thinking you will only see shared matches below 20cM with Pro Tools if the total match of both you and your match is 20cM and above?

BTW I am still seeing matches below 20cM this morning. I don't have Pro Tools. It did not last this long last time.

Ahhhh, I think I know where I am getting confused!!  Under Shared Matches, MY Matches go down to < 20 cM but the SHARED Matches stop at 20 cM

Just to clarify. The match list goes down to 8cM but usually the shared match list cuts off at 20cM. However today I can see shared matches below 20cM. I think this is an error on Anc part. Last time it happened they "fixed" it pretty quickly. This time they are taking longer. I assume it is not impacting everyone from your comments.

I'm getting the low common matches too . As others have pointed out it has happened before (briefly) for me too.  I'm making the most of it while it lasts.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is some sort of test to see whether it hammers their servers too much. Hence they have rolled it out to a restricted number to assess the impact.

Unless they're tempting us to pay for Protools when this enhanced access to matches ends.
I have subscribed to PT for a month on a couple of occasions. I wonder whether those who also have this enhanced access have done so as well, and those who haven't got it, have never suscribed to PT

I've never subscribed to Pro Tools. I am meaning to do so in the future for a month but don't have enough time at the moment.
