001-X APPENDIX X – Preemption & Competition Timing Examples
Notes for Examples:The following examples demonstrate how Table X-1PREEMPTION AND COMPETITION RESPONSE TIMING TABLE may be applied by a Transmission Provider to a Challenger / Defender set.
The maximum time to complete each appropriate activity as defined in Table 4-2 Reservation Timing Requirements and Table X-1 PREEMPTION AND COMPETITION RESPONSE TIMING TABLE is identified for each Challenger and each Defender. The total time required is defined as the “Challenger Lead Time” and the “Defender Lead Time”. “End of P&C” is the time preemption & competition must be concluded. The latest possible time a Challenger may be QUEUED and still identify all Defenders in the set is indicated as “Competition Lead Time”. This is the earlier of the Defender Lead Time or Challenger Lead Time.
Time points that are shaded (dotted) show a TSR is active. Time points that are Gray indicate the time period after a TSR is unconditional and before it is active. Time points that are Black indicate time prior to the Challenger or Defender Lead Time.
Timing Table 1:
Examples 1 & 2
The table and examples below are not representative of any Transmission Provider’s Business Practices. Actual times may vary.
Notes for Examples 1 & 2:
11+2+max(3,4)
21+2+4
Example 1:Defender Lead Time
Confirmed Firm Daily PTP Defender and Firm Daily PTP Challenger
A Firm Daily PTP TSR enters the queue. There is insufficient AFC/ATC to grant the request in full. A CONFIRMED Daily PTP TSR of shorter duration is evaluated to determine if it is a valid potential Defender. The Defender Lead Time will determine if Preemption Competition can be completed prior to the Defender Deadline. The Defender Lead Time is earlier than the Challenger Lead Time and will therefore be used to determine if the Preemption and ROFR process will proceed. According to Timing Table 1 the Challenger should be queued prior to the Competition Lead Time of 20:00 on Tuesday in order for the potential Defender to be considered a valid Defender.
Example 2: Challenger Lead Time
Confirmed Daily PTP Defender and Firm Daily PTP Challenger
A Firm Daily PTP TSR enters the queue. There is insufficient AFC/ATC to grant the request in full. A CONFIRMED Daily PTP TSR of shorter duration is identified as a valid potential Defender. The Competition Lead Time will determine if Preemption Competition can be initiated. The Challenger Lead Time is earlier than the Defender Lead Time and will therefore be used todetermine if Preemption and ROFR will proceed. According to Timing Table 1 the Challenger should be queued prior to the Competition Lead Time of 7:00 on Monday in order for the potential Challenger to be considered a valid Challenger.

Example 3: Defender Lead Time
Confirmed Daily PTP Defender and Tier 1 Challenger
A Firm Tier 1 request enters the queue. There is insufficient AFC/ATC to grant the request in full. A CONFIRMED Daily PTP TSR is identified as a valid potential Defender. The Defender Lead Time will determine if Preemption & Competition can be initiated. The Defender Lead Time is earlier than the Challenger Lead Time and will therefore be used to determine if Preemption and ROFR will proceed. According to Timing Table 1 the Challenger should be queued prior to the Competition Lead Time of 7:00 on Monday in order for the potential Challenger to be considered a valid Challenger.
