I guess it may be different in other bases, or am I missing something important about this event?
Every month is different. Drops of any sort, swaps, etc for next month all have to wait for that first run. Any ninja attempting to drop their schedule for the following month might stand the best chance in those first few runs. Also, just because it's not on open time now, doesn't mean it can't be after the first run.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that the reserve coverage is almost always better before the first run. So again that allows for more changes to your schedule.
