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 allow the following bids to be submitted in Concurrent reserve. This bid can be submitted because it contains 1 Pairing and 1 Reserve bid group as shown below.
This bid can be submitted because the first bid group has a Clear Schedule and Start Next Bid Group at bid 6. You could also have an Else Start Next Bid Group option on one of the negative bid preferences. You can have multiple bid groups, either Pairing or Reserve, provided you an Else Start Next Bid Group option or a Clear Schedule and Start Next Bid Group bid in all but the last non-RLL bid group.
