No matter if the MOC uses the principal nominee process or unranked candidates, 10 people competing for one seat get a nomination?

The second way is a slate that has a principle nomination and competitive alternates. This means that if the person in the #1 slot is qualified all the way around, they will get an offer. If #1 turns out not to be qualified for whatever reason, the Academy will choose the candidate it likes best from the alternates....

Now, does an MOC always have a seat open/have to have a seat open? Or is it up to them?
The MOC usually has at least one seat open. With the help of the SA's the process is much better managed today than decades ago and there is an effort to make sure that multiple seats are not filled in one year if it will result in no vacancies the following year.Now, does an MOC always have a seat open/have to have a seat open?

A key point is that although multiple appointments can result from a single nominating slate, no nominations, and hence no appointments, can be made if the MOC does not have a vacancy.
It is a Byzantine process, but in most cases the SA determines how the appointment will be charged if the candidate has multiple nominations or there are multiple appointments from the same slate.
I have never heard of a MOC conducting interviews for which there are no openings.If there are no open seats some years, why do some MOCs even conduct interviews?
That's part of the admissions "black box." Not sure how they account for those situations, but I am not aware of any situations in which it caused a problem.The MOC usually has at least one seat open.

If there is a cadet who is a turnback for year, taking 5 years to graduate, then could that be a circumstance where there would not be an open seat? Are December grads counted as a taken slot, too, even if they won't be there the full year?
