For what it is worth, I'm a numbers and statistics guy, so I understand bid matching as it applies in the general sense. (Bid matching may varry campus to campus.)

Let's hope with all the improvements this is now no longer common.

This (SWTXBelle's post) has been my understanding of what it meant to be cross-cut. (see following quote)
