I understand how - and why - it works as it does, but I don't have to like it, nor think it's the best system. I believe there are thousands of others who agree with me, yes, but it doesn't take a CMU grad to understand I'm in the minority. It no more makes me and those others (whether 1 or 1000 or 10000 or whatever - that was obviously a figure of speech) right than it makes the current system right.

And I'm obviously no more likely to convince a proponent of the big rush systems than someone is to convince me every house has to rush the same.
How would you solve the problems of bid promising and numbers as well as dirty rushing in general? Would continue to restrict chapters to a quota? If so, how would you deal with PNMs who go bidless after only considering the "top" houses?

It's great to have an idea of what you don't like, silence, bid matching, etc., but how do you solve the problems that those things were designed to address?
