Forgive us if we don't bite on the Smart Pref answer of 'it will work itself out in a live bidding environment'.
The ASA committee looked at examples on the SmartPref website without anything programed into it. The XJT committee told them this, but they stood there plugging their ears and yelling, "La la la la la".

They don't post here, but their hired thugs and mouthpieces (Captain Tony and JoeMerchant) do. Might as well be reading the words right out of Mankameyer's mouth when they post.

Good for you! Thank you for keeping an open mind. Reports out of EWR (where the first true test of the system for our Phase 2 bidding took place) are quite positive.
