GKTurnBasedMatch recognizing the playergroup

I' m working on a gamekit turnbased match. It's a wordgame in different languages.

The player has the option to set the language for every game he wants to play. I would like to use the GKMatchRequest's playergroup property to differentiate between the languages.

But after the GKMatchRequest has been sent and I receive a GKTurnBasedMatch object, how can I tell which playergroup (language) belongs to that match ? As far as I know, the GKTurnBasedMatch object doesn't have the playergroup property nor can I match a GKTurnBasedMatch object with a GKMatchRequest, there's no identifier.

Although there isn't a playerGroup property in a GKTurnBasedMatch object, I recommend storing the playerGroup of the match in the matchData property.

The GKTurnBasedMatch you receive is of the playerGroup you requested. If you set your playerGroup to 1, the GKTurnBasedMatch you get back will only pair up when someone else requests a match with a playerGroup of 1.

From the documentation: "If your application sets the playerGroup property, only players whose requests share the same playerGroup value are automatched by Game Center"
