I believe the university of Texas at Austin is doing something like that this year. It is called the Guranteed Bid System. Now I am certianly not on the up and up regarding it, and when it was explained to me, I was still very confused. It was something about placing all the girls, even without snap bids and it could very well possibly be a bid from a group the PNM did not attend a Preference party for.
Would anyone who knows for sure care to elaborate and explain it better?
