2018 Special Permits: Drawing Results

[bobcat]

It doesn't make sense to me why they would say to wait "a couple hours." They must know that 99.9% of people will NOT wait.

The only thing I can think of is it just gives them an excuse if the system does crash. They can blame it on all the people who didn't wait.

5 more pages and then results will be posted.

Agreed, especially when there are so many easy alternatives.
1. Post results in early in the AM like other states do (Nevada, Wyoming, etc.)
2. Don't send out an email until the system is settled.
3. Email out the actual results, don't make us login to the website to find them (again like other states do.)

Isn't that exactly what they're doing? They said they're posting them early tomorrow. That should help the server a lot.

We'll see what "early" means.  I was anticipating 8:30 - 10am but they could post at 4 or 5 am to help things a lot.

I hope it's posted before I go over the horizon tomorrow halibut fishing and can't check until I get back to cell range!

Early could mean 12:01 AM Thursday morning.  Who is staying up late tonight?

I nominate @PlateauNDN for the job. 

[First timer]

I still feel like they will post tonight before they walk out of the office. I hope anyways

Fitting that the WDFW is choosing the Summer Solstice as the day to release the results. The longest day...

[NOCK NOCK]

I can see it now, the system is gonna crash while they are posting = results postponed until the 22nd.
