They will pre-post the event to your schedule before the PBS bid is run. Even if it isn’t pre-posted, it will be caught in the final check that supposedly occurs before the “Go” button is clicked by the PBS admin. That’s what I was told by ALPA.
I suppose you could wait until after schedule bidding and see if they will still allow you to sign up and select a day that conflicts with your sked...
