And because of that, you can't look at the IU numbers and tell how the various chapters did. The numbers don't tell the story.

I'm also really unclear on how the computer picks that number, and/or whether there is any enforcement of sticking to that number.
In RFM, the invite number is a function of projected quota and recruiting strength. So, you could use the same principle at IU, where the invite number is a function of open beds and recruiting strength. I don't know if they are doing that.
Of course, even if they did, it wouldn't fix the problem that # PNM's > # of bids, but you would at least see women getting dropped from the process sooner, which may actually be an improvement over going through the whole thing and THEN not getting a bid. A small improvement, sure, but if you get no pref invites, well heck, at least you have time to get out of Bloomington before bid day.
