RFM specialists try to set quota at the highest number so that all chapters make quota, if possible. Sometimes setting it just a few numbers higher will have 3 or more chapters having to snap bid...usually very strong chapters that had smaller numbers at pref due to past recruiting strength statistics.
And then you still have all of the PNMs left who have maximized their options and would go bidless if QA's were not added.
Remember that another round of recruitment was added this year. Past party rounds were 9 6 3 in years past and this year were 10 8 5 2...so lots of estimating and adjustments had to be made this year.
