[quote=Anonymous]I think where your confused is you think that someone with a high lottery number gets into all of their choices, and that someone else is kept from getting those seats. That's not how it works. Someone with a high lottery number gets into their first choice. Changing the way the draw is done doesn't change the number of seats. The only question to ask about a system is whether once it's all done, are there any two people who would be willing to trade with each other and each be happier? If so, then the system is flawed. The current system is designed so that it never happens that mutually beneficial trades exist, so long as people put in their true preferences. That also means that strategizing or gaming is impossible, the best outcome for any individual is to put in their true preference. [/quote]
