Also something that should probably be clarified is that release numbers are usually based on past history of a chapter's return rates. For example, chapter A with a 3-year average return rate of 98% will have to release more PNMs than chapter B with a 3-year average return rate of 72%. This method required chapter A to release PNMs earlier so that chapter B has a better opportunity to get to know and fall in love with more PNMs (and so the PNMs can have more time to fall in love with chapter B instead of getting caught up with chapter A).

Yeah ... Release figures set how many to release, not how many to invite back. A chapter can make a steeper cut earlier in the week if they decide to but it could end up hurting them later if their historical return rates are low. Back to my example above, based on return rates at Pref, chapter A might have to invite 2x quota to Pref in order to make quota while chapter B might have to invite 5x quota in order to make same quota. If chapter B releases too many PNMs early in the week they run the risk, based on their past return rate, of not achieving quota.
