Then, when the timer for that pairing hits zero, it will drop into FCFS.

It would be like the opening seconds of the monthly FCFS but it will happen continuously for each new pairing dropped to FLICA.

Still FCFS, doesn't require a contract change, and foils the Bot boys and FLICA refreshers who get pairings before the rest of the world ever knew they existed.
