bid matching

Poster Message:
A pnm's ranks matter a lot more after pref than at any other time but there are still no guarantees. You ranked your pref houses #1 & #2, and the sororities ranked all their pnm's in order on their bid list. The algorithm starts at the top of a sorority's ranked list and tries to match with the pnm's who put them at #1. If you were high enough on your #1's bid list to match before they reached quota you would have got a bid from them. But you were below that line so the algorithm then tried to match you with your #2. You were high enough on their list to match with them before they reached quota so you got that bid. If you knew going in to pref, without a doubt, that you would have rather not had a bid at all than accept a bid to your #2 then you should have only put your #1 on your card. You would have at least been free to try to get a snap or COB, but now you are bound by the agreement to not get another bid and you have caused your #2 to have wasted a bid. Discourteous and selfish move on your part.
