Overview
That’s the whole point of the system. When there’s overlap, something has to decide. The algorithm uses tier (closer family first), ranking (higher rank wins), dibs (dibbers get a boost), and tiebreakers (age, value balance, sentimental connection, etc.). One person gets it; the others don’t.
What You Can Do
- Rank it high — #1 beats #5.
- Call dibs — With a good reason. Dibs give you an edge.
- Accept the outcome — Sometimes the other person has a stronger case. The reasoning will explain why.
- Dispute — If you think the algorithm got it wrong or you have new info. The executor can override.
It’s designed to be fair. It won’t always feel fair. Disputes exist for when you have a real case.
