If they underperform the night before Preference, they are in a bit of trouble (if they use A/R rather than Priority - see next). But this underperforming is rare.
#2 - Flex Lists. These are used only with Priority as opposed to Accept/Regret. They are the backup plan and in all actuality are re-invitations. So if a chapter has too few PNMs accepting to the next round, some extra PNMs can be added back to the invitation list. Flexing is done before invitations are given to PNMs, so they never know if they were flexed or not.

Thanks! I definitely understood the first part but the second part is definitely illuminating for my understanding of flex lists. I thought flex lists were just extended lists of girls who came back to that round who the chapter would be happy to have back if they didn't have to make any cuts. I didn't realize that chapters could put girls on them who had not attended that round.
