| Post | Work | TRCA |

Preference rules (this decides your village)
- Only posts you rank are considered. Un-ticked Post IDs are gone even if you have higher marks.
- If merit fits two offices, you get the first preference only; the rest are forfeited.
- Same-name posts in one office have different Post IDs — rank each ID separately.
