It’s silly to be doing mock bidding unless these types of details have been worked out.

That being said, yes your day choices will affect your RAP award and not the other way around (it takes your day requests FIRST then your RAP request.) You can't say: I'd rather to R11 even if you have to disregard my day off requests, which is kind of unfortunate in a way.

Am I right about this? This is how it was explained to me.

Even though I could have had R11 on all but one day. Instead of giving me R11 on all but one day and R11 on one less desirable day, it’s going to give me that one day I wanted along with all the others perhaps and give me R3 for all of them. I’d much rather 99% of the days I want and R11 than 100% of the days I want and R3. That’s more than unfortunate that’s pure trash
Could you have at the end of your first bid group -if awarded R”I don’t wan’t” clear bids and goto next group, and have a next group with slgtly different days?
