A forced matrix simply means as members are signed up in a program, they are forced down as spillover into the next available spot in the matrix of the person who referred them.

In other words, if you signed up 4 people in a 3X5 matrix (3 people wide, 5 levels deep), the first 3 people would go into your first level. Then that 4th person would be forced down as spillover into your second level.

The same can happen when the person above you signs up more than 3 people. That is why forced matrices are known as the best type. In this way you, your upline AND your downline are all working for your success! Your matrix will grow while at the same time ensuring the maximum benefit of all members.
