The PNM should be matched to the smallest chapter on their bid card. So if they can put 2 choices down and they don't match to either by quota, then they are a QA to the smallest of the two...which may be their first choice...or may be their second. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that as a QA you go to the smallest chapter.

While that sounds good, I think I can understand why some systems would do it the other way. If QA = going to the smaller of your chapters, some women will probably automatically not put all chapters down on their bid card because they don't want to go to that chapter. And if your non-fave teeny chapter has asked you back all through rush, you have to put them down or not get a QA at all.
