You, sir, deserve a beer. From the PBS Gouge 17-01, page 122:
"If the bid group containing the Set Condition Minimum or Maximum Credit bid does not have an Else Start Next Bid Group and the bid group does not have a Clear Schedule and Start Next Bid Group, then PBS will ignore the bid Min or Max credit bid. The means that PBS will process the bid group with the full LCW. It is important to note that this process is different from denial. Although PBS may eventually go into denial in the bid group, it will not be because of the min or max credit bid being restricted. PBS will initially process the bid group considering all of the subsequent Prefer Off, Set Condition, and Avoid preferences."
