Good rules will have it controlling only certain days like 2 days before Christmas to 2 days after and have a separate bid sheet if you happen to be in that percentage. It’s all in the rules and oversight, typically it’s the bottom 35-50% or so that are affected.
Thanks for the answer. I have not used PBS personally and while I’m familiar with the term unstacking and what it means I’m certainly interested in as much pbs information as I can get from those that have used it before.

The guy that posted the question is using a screen name very similar to mine because he thinks he’s funny I guess.
