I know I don't know all the details, but it seems sort of pointless to have a Quota when only one chapter got to 25. Even some of the ones who are lower may have chosen to go lower - choosing quality over quantity.

This year, I will agree, quota did seem pointless. The only reason it was put into place was because of Rush 2005 where one house had 48 on bidnight and another house had 2.

The numbers this year are closer than usual; the smaller houses really picked it up this year and did better than they usually do.

Gotcha. That makes sense.
