Putting a chapter second doesn't lessen your chances of matching. If you are on their first bid list you stay there. A PNM gets "cross-cut" when she's so far down on both (all) chapter's bid lists that both (all) reach quota before ever getting to her.
Someone once explained the first bid list as a box. Once you get put in the box you don't get out of the box until you match somewhere.

You're saying that she would indeed match to DEF, right? I had a situation in my head where that wasn't the case, but it would be the very rare exception, I think.
Does computer matching use the exact same logic as hand matching? Or is it optimizing the number of matches overall?
