Bottom line - it's their contest, they can run it how they choose. You can always go to a recent guest who ordered cookware and ask if they don't mind your holding their order to February, because it can help you earn free product in a company promotion. You might even 'sweeten the pot' for them by throwing in a set of nylon tools.
upset with my family, my job, my boss and my life. 
As a result, my first few shows were poorly attended and not too many people wanted to be around me. Then - I went to National conference. - AHA! It hit me, sitting on a park bench near Lake Michigan, in the middle of Chicago's summer, that my success in PC was up to me, and that it was a viable way for me to resolve issues with my family (money from my perspective, happiness from my wife's) / my job (I could match my current teaching salary with just a modest PC downline, and shift from teaching moody teens to interested adults - having fun in the process, and being creative!) / my boss (would be a moot point -- they could pretend to me all they wanted, and I'd go have a show and sell $700+ on a Sunday afternoon -- bringing me closer to the day when I could send them my letter of resignation) and - 
I was having fun. I held a fundraiser for another local school and it was the highest PC fundraiser in Washington state that month! 3300. I am aiming to top it this year, and - I am having fun! My shows have higher attendance, my classes at school are great fun (me taking myself less seriously helps) and my PC business is growing leaps and bounds.
