dobbs07 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 So I'm trying to get a better understanding of the way our bonus points work here in AZ. I was always under the impression that the way the draw occurs is that you name is entered into the computer however many times corresponding with the number of bonus points you have, therefore each unsuccessful year, your odds go up. until finally you are in the max pool, where you odds increase astronomically. Recently however when discussing this with my friend, he presented his understanding of the system: He heard that everyone outside of the max pool has an equal opportunity at the number of tags that are available, and that it makes no difference how many bonus points you have until you hit the maximum amount. So if someone could fill in for me your understanding of how the system works, thatd be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.smith Report post Posted August 11, 2008 OK say you have six BP's. That means you get six entries into the number generator to try for the lowest number you can get. Then that one number is used for the draw. Say you put in for a unit with 20 permits. If your number is less than 20 you get drawn. If your number is greater than 20 you get the consolation prize of going through the second drawing for third through fifth choices for which the same process is repeated only it is for the permits that did not get drawn in the first and second choice drawing. Does that make sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
