You know you can do that on the DAL system, right? Just checking, as I have had some success in CVG as a very junior guy in a small category and in ATL as an even more junior guy (relatively) in having my preferences honored. Granted, it's often a toss up between the rotten apple trip and the rotten banana trip but at least it's a choice, kind of...
yes i know but read below.

If it was within 12 hours they would call the reserve guy and if he didn't want to do the trip, they pulled it from them and it was all yours. I think outside of 12 hours it was yours regardless of what the resreve guy wanted.

There are lots of ways we can continue to improve the reserve system here that will benefit lineholders as well. I'm actually very impressed with the improvements so far, although they may not be perfect. The bucket system, credit for SC, and the entire reserve availability list are great things to get outside of section 6. Can't wait for the ability to higher your RAW score. I also think we could still allow drops and swaps up to 12 hours prior to report if reserve coverage is good. That would be nice.
well put, better than i did i guess. Its easier for us that used that system to see the benefits. Not perfect but had a nicer interface to use imho.
