Systems and methods are described herein for resolving advertisement placement conflicts. Specifically, a number of parameters may be entered into a system in order to distribute advertisements into advertisement slots. In many instances, a combination of these parameters causes a conflict in the system where all the parameters cannot be applied in order to place advertisements into advertisement slots. The conflict may be resolved by using an advertisement assignment model to determine which parameters may be relaxed in order to arrive at an optimal solution that violates a smallest number of parameters having the least priority. When such a solution is found, the advertisement assignment model may be modified and advertisements may be placed into advertisement slots based on the modified advertisement assignment model.
