The computer would do the first round of scheduling as normal, and if the chapter had fewer than 90 women, any women on the B-list who didn't have full schedules would then be added.
It would be a way for chapters to take a second look at a PNM who hadn't been their first choice, much the same way we encourage PNM's to take a second look at a chapter they ranked lower.

They sorta do that with the Flex List. The only problem is that I've seen chapters look at these women as "cut." It's like the ranking that PNMs do. It's hard to get PNMs to look at chapters that they "cut" when they turn up on their list again. From first hand experience, these women can be treated as leftovers or rejects in ways that Snap bids or other ways of maximizing aren't because the whole chapter isn't involved in that process. There would need to be a big PR push or way of doing it that made it not seem like these were women who are released who can be brought back if the chapter doesn't hit their return number.
