The real story

Poster Message:
Cross-cutting doesn't happen anymore because of Quota Plus. It refers to Bid Matching after the Preference Round. Before Quota Plus, it would sometimes happen that a PNM put house A as their first choice and house B as their second. But house A did not have her high enough on their bid list so they filled Quota before they got to her, and meanwhile house B had her very high on their bid list but she didn't match with them because she had them as her number two, so house B had to skip her and go on down their bid list and match to Quota without her. That is being cross-cut, and she wouldn't get a bid at all. (Very, very sad.) Quota Plus ensures that this doesn't happen so that PNM's who rank both their houses are guaranteed a bid, so no more getting cut after pref!
