Note: Clear Schedule and Start Next Bid Group and Else Start Next Bid Group are taken into consideration with Coverage Awards. If the N-PBS Scheduler cannot honor a bid preference with an Else Start Next Bid Group option due to a Coverage Award it will move to the next bid group. Also, the N-PBS Scheduler will move to the next bid group if a Clear Schedule and Start Next Bid Group bid is present and a pairing is awarded through Coverage Awards using the system-generated Award Pairings bid.
The N-PBS Bidder interface will not allow the following bids to be submitted in Consecutive reserve.
This bid cannot be submitted because the first Pairing bid group does not contain an Else Start Next Bid Group bid. If you have multiple bid groups of the same type, either Pairing or Reserve, all bid groups except for the last one must have this bid. See Else Start Next Bid Group for more information on how to use this bid.
