As work week is starting, I guess I am just trying to have a deeper understanding of RFM then what is explained (which at times is "it's complicated, but it works...trust the process) I had always felt chapters that took on more girls than quota were either under total to begin with, but from what I now understand that is not true and that all chapters have to take quota additions (to reward girls that maximized their options) unless it was arranged prior to recruitment to not take anything over quota.

As always, my biggest ICS/RFM experiences are with smaller scale recruitments so gurus, please correct me:

The QAs with RFM are typically those women who listed that chapter #1. They have also maxmized their options (listed all 3 choices.) You're not eligible to be a QA to any chapter if you don't maximize your options. So yes, you're right in that QAs reward those women who do so.

The main purpose of QAs is to place as many women (who have played by the rules) with their top choices.
