If you can see the shop you will most likely get it. If you can not see the shop and you get an email it's most likely that the shop is rated above your rating level but they are having problems getting it scheduled. So yes, someone else replied quicker or had a higher rating or is someone the scheduler was more familiar with. Just do 3-4 shops, do them incredibly well, and make absolutely no mistakes. You will begin to see some of those shops on the board and be able to get them.
I will trust your experience in this matter. I may not have analyzed things between when I signed up and what I see now.
I have observed that with ACL it pays to understand their listing cycle and check for the new listings proactively. Several of the most popular clients are snatched up well before any general email alerts go out. I have seen the shops as available when I time things right.
Unlike several MSCs, ACL is very good at assigning shops quickly then moving them to the assigned status.
