And now to throw a further wrench into it. I'll bring up the topic of Quota Range! With the new RFM, Quota is not determined until AFTER chapters have submitted their lists and PNMs have ranked. Let's say Quota Range has been determined to be 30-34. So the question would be - how many names do we put on our first bid list? Two options:
1 - Put 30 on your first bid list in alphabetical order, and arrange the second bid list in ranking order. So if quota winds up being 34, #s 31, 32, 33, and 34 are automatically bumped up.
2 - Another option that campuses that do QR either already do or are considering is to have ONE bid list with everyone in ranking order - period.

Alphabetization is for ease-of-use on campuses that are still hand matching. If you use a computer program, I can't think of any reason it would matter.
On a related note, why are campuses still hand matching?
