<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Exactly. Onroto processes the bids in order of bid blocks (I think), so somebody's second choice in their first bid block (contingent) actually comes ahead of somebody else's first choice in
their second bid block. So this is one of the situations in which we let onroto do its thing even though it departs from the written rules. I once whined and complained about this, but we decided not to try to override the system.

<div class="">I'm pretty sure that's how the onroto system works. If a contingent bid comes into play, it competes with primary bids and the higher one wins. My dim memory is that we once had our own rule that was opposite, but decided to let the system do its thing
and not have Mark have to unwind things like this.</div>
