Hello people
I am playing a game with manual 3 pick and my teammate picked place x as 3rd pick I picked the same territory as pick 7 and I got the territory
my question or wonder is how is this possible and what is the mechanism of the priority in picks

I'm pretty sure that if you get your picks before your teammate but you don't have any of your earlier picks, you'll get in this case your 7th pick, and since he gets his picks after you, he'll get his 4th pick.

I was also wondering about this when it happened to me but explanation is simple.

Consider selection as moves and this example:

1. your move - you take your 1st selection territory(territory 'A')
2. his move - he take his 1st selection territory (territory 'B')
3. his move - he take his 5th selection (territory 'C') as his 2nd, 3rd and 4th was taken by enemies earlier
4. your move - your 2nd pick is territory 'C' but it's already take so you have go for your 3rd pick.
