pet derby won't start?

When I try and join a ranked derby match, I will join up with a group and select the "Go to Arena" option. Then it will sit at the "waiting for opponent to confirm" screen way past the minute and something time limit every one has to accept and will remain there until I back out of the match. Could any one tell me what may be causing this? I have already tried the basic restarting of the program.

It is not a problem with the software of Wizard101, but rather the lack of derby players. PvP has a similar issue, but it doesn't regard level like pet derby does so matches come a lot faster, but you may end up dueling a legendary while your a magus. With Pet Derby, it is looking for only same level pets to race with you (whichever you have yourself). It sits for a long time waiting for someone to meet that criteria. The only option right now is to encourage more players to play the pet derby with the same level of pet as yours. Then hope for the best against any internet latency out there.

racers are probably backing out at the last moment.. it's hard to get a derby match lately.. normally between 3-7pm are the best times, and usually i still have to wait to get one.
