Wow - and we thought RFM was complicated! I think this article gives a really nice overview of how complex these matching systems can be - and how many factors must go into building the process.
I personally think that RFM is actually a little more straightforward than the NY schools example, but it keeps getting confounded by all of the misinformation and misleading colloquialisms around the process ("Another house wanted her more, that's why she got a bid to it instead of her first choice", etc.)
