So RFM is a much more complex process with the overall intent to help all or almost all groups make quota by setting releases all chapters must make on a realistic timeline. Remember when the weaker chapter missed quota by a lot? that's because the stronger rushing chapters where not ask to release enough pnm's "down" into the system. Another example is top chapters don't need to carry 2x or 3x quota into pref to make quota.

On the pnm side of the house these releases help set their expectations correctly...they are being released sooner to chapters that they will be released from at some point and are destined not to pledge. This helps keep pnm's in the system rather than carrying "top" houses all week only to have zero invites to pref, or 1 "top" and 2 "I don't want this house" to pref which causes them to drop out of recruitment because their expectations about where in the system they may end up hasn't been handled correctly.

About your question....I don't think that pnm's end up in "C" more often....This is an outcome of the pnm not making it high enough on the bid list of A & B - that isn't a result of RFM that's a result of pnm performance so to speak. When it comes to house C they probably have more women able to be invited to their house to pref (if they traditionally miss quota) and maybe? are placing pnm higher on their list knowing she's going to two other preferences at houses that rush stronger than they do??
