It's not as stressful on the air conditioning when you don't have a mess of people crammed in the facilities. We have 12 ton a/c units that get quite a workout and we still get a lot of complaints about how hot it is.
PS "more people rushing" doesn't mean what you (pnm) think it means. I mean, if you think that more people = fewer bids, that is not how it works.

In addition to the bold, with fewer attendees chapters have a greater chance of matching each PNM with someone who is the best fit to pref them. UWashington made this switch just within the last 5 or so years and IMO it has made a difference - both in comfort level and in the ability to make more meaningful pref connections.
