Bid mismatch / computer error?

[UGAalum94]

I think that GLO can turn in the list sorted anyway they want right, with the understanding that girls will be matched in order? They just have to follow their own internal policies, which I think might require alphabetizing so that from the group's perspective all first list is number one.

It can be easier to comprehend by thinking that all of these girls are in a big "tie" for first place - doesn't matter what order they're listed in, b/c they all "came in first."

I like to think of the first bid list as a "box". If you're in the box, order doesn't matter. If you're in the box you can be matched to that chapter. You stay in the box until you are matched somewhere. If you're not in the box, you "wait in line" (aka the second bid list). You stand in line in order. If you are the next one in line to go in the box, you can only move into the box if someone already in the box matches elsewhere.

Yes, it's lame, but it might help people who are more visually oriented understand bid-matching.

I have the Green Book. We haven't solved the problem, but if this has a happy ending, I'll let y'all know. Thank you so much for your help!

Actually, that's a pretty good way of describing it. I might just have to borrow that analogy from you.
