I just assumed I’d get whatever I wanted on rsv per usual. Let the dropping begin. I don’t know how you guys work a month of 4 days.

Whoopsie. "Else Clear Schedule Start Next" is your friend.

I use that on every group. So instead of going to denial mode on my very last group it just cleared and went to award pairings

Yeah that’s not what you want to do I think. If you’re going to use it that way, you’ll need a contingency group for every possible Else Start Next scenario. Use it only when you have a “do or die” condition and you are immediately following that group with the very next best schedule you would want, until you have no “do or die” conditions left and you can live with getting your remaining Avoid statements dropped.

Yep. I just assumed as a middle bidder thats been able to hold just about whatever I want on rsv I tossed a couple contingency hard line groups I didn’t think I’d actually need and forgot to remove the clear at the bottom. That’s what I get for assuming.
