Abstract
Candidates for selection in a weighted arbitration system are assigned priority weights and random weights. The winning candidate is determined using a tree of selectors such as a comparators. At each stage of the tree, the candidate having the greatest priority weight is selected to pass to the next stage. If multiple candidates are tied for the greatest priority weight, the candidate having the greatest random weight is selected to pass to the next stage.
