defined in subsection 17.7(b) from among the bids

posted as the "best bid", unless the Releasing Shipper
specifies another tie-breaking methodology in its
Release Proposal. If multiple bids meeting minimum
conditions have been submitted, bids shall be awarded
best bid first, until all offered capacity is awarded.
Any bid submitted for released capacity pursuant to
Section 17.6 may state that its acceptance is
contingent; provided, the Release Proposal allows the
