Reminder: Max Above is automatically placed at the top of the Reserve bid group. The Else Start Next Bid Group option is automatically added to the bid. This bid is only available in Reserve bid groups.
The Max Above bid allows you to bid for a reserve block if the maximum number of reserve block holders (the number set by you) above you in seniority has not been reached. The Max Above number is reached, the reason Too many above Start Next honored is displayed on the reasons report.
Example
Max Above 10 Else Start Next Bid Group
The N-PBS Scheduler awards you a reserve block only if no more than 10 reserve blocks have already been awarded.
If the first 10 reserve blocks have been awarded, the N-PBS Scheduler awards you the eleventh reserve block
If the first eleven reserve blocks have been awarded, the N-PBS Scheduler honors the Else Start Next Bid Group and begins to process your next bid group.
