In realty, the MOCs only submit a suggested order of preference. What USNA does is sort it all out and then dole out the nominations to those most eligible. In the scenario you present, of course #1 would not be eligible for the principal nomination and then it would be granted to someone else. Bottom line, if numbers 1 thru 8 all decide to go find themselves for a year by backpacking all over Europe, #9 becomes the principal nomination, and #10, unless he is national pool eligible, has a useless nomination. Therefore, my original very true and very pertinent statement stands:

Unless you are awarded the principal nomination from this slate, your nomination is worthless.



Perhaps I could have explained better, but there was nothing at all incorrect about my post.
