You rank your pref houses #1 and #2 and the houses rank all the pnm's on their bid list. The matching algorithm starts at the top of a house's ranked bid list and goes down in order trying to match with all pnm's who put them down as #1. If you are not high enough on their list before they reach quota, the algoritm will then try to place you with your #2. If you are not high enough on your #2 bid list to match with them before they reach quota, then you will be a quota addition at either house. The algorithm will try to put you with your 1, but will also consider your place on both bid lists and the number of quota additions to be distributed. A quota addition is a just regular bid and no one knows these pnm's from any others. This system is how you are guaranteed a bid if you rank both your houses. If you only rank 1 of 2 (suiciding), and that house hits quota before they match with you, you are done and out of the process and will not get a bid. If you are only invited to 1 house for pref and you put them on your card, you will have a lovely restful night because you know where you are going on bid day.
