I will say that regardless of the policy, holding a legacy through pref and not giving them a bid is probably the worst way to handle a legacy situation. Talk about World War 3!
So to avoid World War 3, a chapter – in theory – "should" only invite back to the preference round the number of legacies that they can “guarantee” a spot on their first bid list.

I now “get it” why so many legacies must be / are released prior to a preference round at chapters where more legacies go through than possible bids.
