I read a few threads that explained in fair depth just how bid matching works. You place your #1 and #2 (for instance) and if you are on #1's A list, you get matched; if not, but you are on #2's A list, then you get matched to 2. (Right?)

Anyway, my question is, is it possible that BOTH 1 and 2 put you on their A list? (In which case you'd go to 1, right?)
I'm not expecting this to happen to me or anything, but just trying to understand the system a little bit better. Thanks so much!


I'm not the best when it comes to bid matching questions though, so I could be wrong.

It depends on WHERE you are on those lists. If #1 reaches quota before you are reached on the list, then the program would attempt to match you with 2.

But if you are reached on #1's list before they get to quota, you would be matched to 1.

Don't give yourself a headache worrying about this kind of thing, though.
