Assign things to users

Hi,

This is more of a logic question than a PHP question.  I wanted to get some
opinions on how some of you are doing things like this.

I have a set of employees in our quote management system.  We get thousands
of quotes per hour, and every 15 minutes I have a cron that goes out and
grabs the unassigned and goes in a round robin fashion assigning the quotes
to the employees.  I have the table setup like:

User ID, Username, AssignTolken

What I've been doing is grabbing the user who has AssignTolken = 1, and
giving them the next quote.  Then I change them to 0, pull up the next user
in line, and set them up to get the next quote with AssignTolken = 1.

My question is:  How do you all do handle similar situations like this?
I've been thinking there has to be a better way to do it, but I have not
been able to think of a good way to do it.  I'd like to see how if I'm doing
it like everyone else, or what else is out there.  Any ideas would be
appreciated!
