But it is not being "cross-cut". There is this myth out there that if you are on a chapters top bid list, but you put them as #2, and the group you have as #1 puts you on their second bid list, you will end up without a bid (assuming only two chapters on pref night). That is just not the case. If you end up without a bid, it is because you were too low on BOTH chapters' bid lists. I know that is a a harder thing for PNM's to face, but as we discussed above, if you are on a chapter's first bid list, you stay there until you are matched there or elsewhere.
