I have done something similar with assigning PSA's to affiliates.
In fact, for me, letting affiliates know that if they make EA then I will assign 5 affiliates to them. This not only gives incentive for affiliates to attain EA but also helps you to grow. I think this is a growth experience for affiliates because when you assign these to your affiliate you are giving them a chance to grow by experiencing having an affiliate, like learning to send team email, tracking progress etc.
