Hear hear......
Just "flatten it out" so that those at the top dont get ALL and EVERYTHING that they bid for, with the result that those further down might then get SOMETHING that they bid for.
A cap on the number of "same pattern trips" per roster wouldnt hurt those at the top too much, would it????
