They look at how many chapters would make Quota at each number, how many would miss Quota, and how many PNMs would not get a bid at all (but might be eligible for Quota Additions if they maximized their options). Then they run it with Quota = X+1, then X+2, etc.
The final Quota number selected is the one where the most Chapters achieve Quota and the most PNMs receive bids through matching. Then Quota Additions are determined.

This is the best explanation on this and absolutely correct. At the University I advise at the quota additions are given to the smallest Chapters. So if a PNM has ABC as choice number 1 and XYZ as choice number 2 and ABC is smaller than XYZ then the PNM goes to XYZ even though it was her second choice.
