Also, there are some schools who do not use RFM. I work with two, and they still hand-match and pretty much use either Minimally and/or Partially Structured formats. I'm talking small schools with 2-3 NPC chapters, but they are still out there.

FWIW, I rushed at the beginning of the RFM era and every night all I ever filled out were scantron cards with the chapters listed. I didn't ever read/sign anything with the MRABA rules on it. My RC didn't know the answer to most of my questions, and I remember being told I had to rank 2 chapters after pref when I only went to 1 pref party.
