Points putting in as team

[bullcrazy]

I know they average points but here's my question (might have already answered myself, but let me think out loud).
2 of us added up is 5 points (me 3, him 2) devide by 2 is 2.5, mathematically 2.5 rounded up is 3.  So we go in as 3
Elk multi season so the difference of 2 or 3 points could decide whether we put in together or not.

What is the question?

My guess is that it would be rounded down, not up, but I'm not sure.

rounded up.

[Alan K]

rounded up.

 

After a bit of looking around, here it is in print:

Thanks for the input. I guess I was skeptical that they would round it up.

Wow, I thought they truncated (rounded down).

In some regards you'd have a better chance (2 vs 3 points) but you will also be mathematically eliminated earlier (the last tag you wont' have a chance at). With only 2 guys that's not too big of a deal so overall you're probably better off going in as a group with th extra point.

If 2 and 3 points are what you have now, you will each have one more in the next drawing.

Assuming that you will have 2 and 3 points, a team application would have 9 names in the hat: 3 squared. If you apply individually one would have 4 names in the hat and one would have 9 for a total of 13 chances that at least one would draw.
