Choices

Here is how it works: Your two houses rank each PNM, and you rank your two houses. The algorithm will start at the top of the houses' bid lists to match their first choices with PNM's who have also put them first. If your first choice house has you high enough on their bid list to match with you before they reach Quota, then you will get a bid from that house. But, if your first choice reaches Quota before you are matched with them, then the algorithm will try to match you with your second choice house. If you are high enough on their bid list to match before they reach Quota then you will get a bid from that house. If you are not high enough on their bid list to match with them either, then at that point you would get a bid as a Quota Addition and could be matched to either house. The algorithm tries to give Quota Additions to their number one house where at all possible but must also factor in total membership numbers of the houses, where you are on their bid lists, and other factors. If you only rank one of your two houses and don't match with them, you are out of the running to be a Quota Addition and you will go without a bid at all.
