How does the couples match work?
The couples match works similarly in concept to the regular match and coincides with the regular match but is much more complicated. When attempting to couples match you and your partner will make many rank order lists. Person A will make a list of programs and for every program that person A has ranked person B will be required to make a different list. The computer will start with person A and try to match them as listed in the What is the match and how does it work FAQ? When person A is matched at a program the computer will then enter person Bs list that had been made for that particular program that person A matched in and will try to find a match in the same way. If person B matches then the two people have temporarily matched. If one of you is displaced by people that were ranked higher on either one of your programs lists then you will both be kicked out and the computer will start again.
