rank 1 diamond in my division

rank 11 diamond in NA with 3310 points...

I have a feeling I am moving up very very soon.

I apologize if this is a bit off topic, but it does involve my quest to get into Master League!
(For the record I have read all of your documentation on League and promotions, Excalibur, well done!)
I am a 3,100 Diamond... most likely in a very low division tier. BNet seems quite sporadic in pairing me up vs people... it ranges from 1500 Diamond to 3,200 Diamond! It has not paired me vs Master League yet ... but the "Favored"/"Slightly Favored" doesn't seem to coincide with visible points (due to MMR). Is this because it does not have enough confidence in my ability vs higher skill levels? Perhaps my sigma is in a funk and still does not know my skill level for certain .
It seems to pair me up with ppl who have on-the-rise MMR and lower point totals... My win % is not stellar, 51.5%

I'd like to think that I'm Master League quality; however, I would also like to think that I'd need to be beating Master Leaguers in order for BNet to consider me worthy. I just fear it'll never pair me vs Master Leaguers. Is it because my win % isn't high enough?

Yes, I'm absolutely sure. This one for example has 3158 points:

My own match history also ended up with 3158 points.

I tried recently to verify that bonus pool increases exactly 12 points per 24 hours, but I found several places where it didn't. I can't be sure there aren't any errors in my match history, so I didn't bother to examine it further.

It's 1 per 112 minutes, so while it's close to 12 per 24h, it's not exact =)

"Master league promotion criteria is the same as any other league. If the moving average of your hidden matchmaking rating stabilizes within the confines of the Master league, you will be promoted."

Just like other promotions it doesn't depend on points but hidden ranking. I was 1250 diamond but 1.3k bonus pool but I got promoted after one game... which i assume is because my MMR is high enough and i consistently played 2.5k diamond players. I'm guessing grandmasters will be point based however.
