In fact, I think we now have more because letting one or two houses get quota +1 or +3 allows us to keep our overall quota number lower and thus more chapters achieve "quota". Plus, I believe Cal guarantees a bid to a PNM who sticks with the process and, since the other purpose of the quota range is to give PNM's their best options, this usually results in quota additions.
Maybe other schools are thinking of using the quota range differently or maybe the new release system affects quota additions?

Yeah, I don't think that using quota range will eliminate quota additions all together, because it's a system that works. But I agree with TxGirl, I'm hoping it will limit the need to use them by helping more girls actually match within quota.
As far as I can tell, the new release figures system is not directly correlated with the new system of quota range, other than the fact that they are both designed to help PNMs get their first choices through bid matching. This year's Recruitment should definitely be an interesting experiment in the new procedures, but I'm hoping it will go really well.
