Those in the national pool compete for appointments that are reserved for alternates to fill the class. They are separate from Supe nominations.

In a nutshell - after all the MOC’s nominees are appointed - there are spaces left over. Believe it or not - not every congressional district will have a candidate. Additionally, there are 150 slots set aside for qualified alternates for compete. These come from candidates who got a congressional nomination but not an appointment.

Also - even though there are up to 10 candidates per slate from each congressman, in many areas there are candidate who have more than one nomination. For instance, some candidates may have a Presidential or service related nomination and win an appointment under that category.

It is entirely possible for a MOC to have several candidates admitted from his slate of nominees - even if only one candidate is charged to him.
