In a nutshell, the computer first attempts to match the PNM to her FIRST choice.

If First choice reaches quota before the computer reaches her name on their bid list, she is NOT matched with them.

Ex: if quota is 50 and your kid is #71 on the list, (pending that the top girls on FIRST's list put them first and match with them) she is not going to match with them.

So, FIRST CHOICE is full and Daughter didn't match.

The computer NOW attempts a match with SECOND choice. Her name is reached on the list before SECOND reaches quota.

She gets a bid to Second.

Basically, you have to be high enough on a chapter's bid list to get a bid from them.

This is a VERY basic explanation so someone please correct me if I am incorrect about something!
