Notes:
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 does not allow you to add an RLL bid group as your first bid group.
The N-PBS Bidder interface will not allow the following bids to be submitted in Concurrent reserve.
This bid cannot be submitted because the first Pairing bid group does not contain an Else Start Next Bid Group option or a Clear Schedule and Start Next Bid Group bid.

Refer to the Else Start Next Bid Group for further information on how to use this bid option.
