Offers and the waitlist, on autopilot
The draw takes a morning; offers and the waitlist take the whole season. That’s where spreadsheets fall apart, and where Sorteo runs itself.
One offer: the best one
Each child gets a single offer: the highest-ranked school their lottery number can earn. No multiple offers locking up seats for weeks, no families guessing blind across chains of options.
Deadlines that mind themselves
Every lottery sets its acceptance window. The family sees their deadline in their time zone, gets reminders as it approaches, and if it lapses, the seat moves on, automatically, with nobody chasing anybody.
Declines cascade instantly
When a family declines, the next family in the locked lottery order gets their offer by email that moment, not when someone reopens the spreadsheet on Monday. The order was fixed on draw day, and it’s honored to the letter.
Trading up without risking what you hold
If a seat opens later at a school the family ranked higher, they can take it without letting go of the seat they hold until the new one is confirmed. Trading up is never a gamble.
Families respond from their email
Accepting or declining is one click from the offer email: no account, no password, in the family’s language. And every step lands in the audit trail.
