New trade idea for every interview round?

I’m currently prepping for a second round interview with a large multi manager HF. Quick question: is it standard procedure to have a new trade idea for every interview round? It took me a pretty long time to find the ideas I discussed during the first round and I’d rather reuse those, frankly. 

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but it’s obviously critical to how I spend my time this weekend. Thx
