      If odd number of seats are left, then the extra one goes to which phase? Even 1 seat matters:)

          from my understanding, twins/triplets are considered under 1 seat....if that extra 1 seat goes to triplets for eg, imagine the happiness.

            Not so simple i think.

            If no balloting, the 3 children will take up 3 vacancies.

            If there is a ballot, then the 3 children share one balloting chance. If their ball is picked, 3 vacancies will be taken up. However, the special rule is if they are the last ball to be picked, then all 3 will get in.

            But i stand corrected. Maybe someone can clarify?

              I don't think so leh. They're only counted as 1 person if there's a balloting (eg at 2B): they can choose to share 1 ball (and that's usually the case because parents don't want to split the logistics if 1 doesn't get picked). If the shared ball is picked, all the family get in. But they will take up extra seats, leaving fewer left at 2C.

              Can anybody verify?

                Very lucky if that is the LAST seat.
                If not, all the parents will be glaring, cos they will take up 2 extra seats, reducing the chances of 2 other kids.

                  Twins, triplets, quadruplets … all count as 1 seat

                    No I think Orb and nicnac are correct. That’s why as multiples get more & more common over the years, us parents of non-multiples get even more stressed.

                      Statistically, not possible to get more & more common. If anything, it should get less and less common with declining birth rate...

                        My rationale is, the age of mothers giving birth is getting older statistically. And I heard higher maternal age leads to higher chance of conceiving multiples. Both natural and via IVF.
