Scenario - Someone is offered a prematch offer which that person decides not to take and go for the match.

Question - Does this mean that he / she cannot rank that program at all. Also does it mean that the program will never include this person on their list?

if you don´t accept a prematch, you still can rank that program and you still can be included in PD's list.

We always rank people if they decide to stay in the match. If we wanted them for prematch, why wouldn't a program rank you.

Good luck.

Thanks bbb. I always wonder how you manage to answer everyone's question.

Thanks again for all the time and guidance that you give everyone like me.
