English term (edited):
x-day release
Selected
release if booking not confirmed x days before reserved date
I believe this means that the pre-rsereved rooms can be 'released' for other customers if the pre-reservation has not been confirmed by x number of days before the first date.
So for the week days, there is a great deal of demand, so the pre-reservations will not be kept open once it gets close to the frist booking date, thus freeing off the rooms for letting to other customers; presumbly there is less demand at weekends, and in any case, bookings may be for only 1 or 2 nights, hence a shorter deadline may be accepted.
This IS only a vague hunch, so you really ought to try and check if you can!

I know I've come across this term before, when we used to have our hotel and had it with various booking agents; but I never paid that much attention, as this side of it wasn't my direct responsibility.

Your revenue manager should establish rates that you would want to offer.
These accounts will probably ask for room only and/or bed and breakfast rates and generally expect a per person per night rate sharing a twin room.
BUT you will need to check that I've got this the right way round!
What does the text before this say? That may clarify it.
