MCC Round 2: Freeze, Float or Exit? What each choice really means

Freeze

Freeze means you keep your current seat and stop taking part in further upgrades. Choose it when no option you prefer is realistically within reach.

Float (upgradation)

Float means you keep your current seat and ask to be upgraded. If you are upgraded you lose all claim to the old seat; if you are not upgraded you keep it (bulletin p.14-15, p.44).

Float only makes sense if seats you genuinely prefer look Likely or Safe at your rank in Round 2.

Exit

A Round 1 seat can be given up with free exit (no forfeiture). From Round 2, exit means forfeiture of the security deposit (bulletin p.15).

Round 3 seats cannot be resigned; not joining a Round 3 seat forfeits the deposit and removes you from further MCC rounds (bulletin p.16, p.45).
