Features
How does the tie-breaking system work?
Racine's tie-breaking system is designed to ensure fair distribution of items among participants. Here's how it works:
Item Selection:
- Each participant creates their wish list by selecting the items they're interested in
- Participants can assign a priority to each item in their list
- This priority will be used to resolve situations where an item is wanted by multiple people
- Items "without priority" are assigned a random priority by the system (lower than the least prioritized item already defined)
Distribution Process:
The system works in rounds, where each participant will receive one item per round based on their priorities and the compensation system until their item selection is exhausted.
Conflict Resolution and Compensation System:
When multiple people want the same item with the same priority level:
- It compares compensation points
- In case of equal points, a random selection is made
The winner's points are reset to zero
Other participants receive two compensation points
Transparency and Traceability:
Participants have access to a detailed summary of the distribution where each decision is recorded and explained.
Optional: Value System:
- Participants can optionally assign a monetary value to items
- In this case, each participant is assigned a quota based on their share in the inheritance
- The system then ensures no participant exceeds their total value quota
- Items exceeding a participant's quota are deferred to the end of the distribution; if no one has obtained them by then, they are subject to a second round without considering quotas
