How exactly does this elective lottery computer program work?

For example if you pick first overall in the first round you will pick last overall in the second round. (BUT YOUR BEST CHANCE AT A PARTICULAR ELECTIVE IS WITH YOUR PICK IN THE FIRST ROUND) • A round in the lottery does not equal periods of your fourth year • Each round in the lottery allows each student the option to select one elective • Round one of the lottery will begin by attempting to place you in the elective that you have selected in group A, line 1; in the period you have listed first. • Should that elective not be available during that period it will continue to read left to right in the desired period column until it either finds on opening or runs out of selected periods • Should all of the periods in Group A, line 1 be filled then it will jump to Group A, line 2 and again try to fit you in the desired period starting from
