--- Quote from: bobcat on June 14, 2007, 10:10:51 PM ---The system is as fair as can be expected. The number of points you have is squared and that is how many chances you have in the drawing. I don't know where they came up with that 75% and 25%. That almost sounds like Oregon. You can find information on their website that explains how it works. I wouldn't necessarily rely on a clerk who happened to answer the phone when you called. Try looking here: www.wdfw.wa.gov --- End quote --- Bob, I wonder if the clerk ment that only 75% are squared (weighted)? I seem to remember that not all of the permit points are multiplied. I agree about not relying on a clerk. They are typically Office Assistants in an entry level job, many times looking for an "in" with the state and not really knowledgeable about hunting. |

Hey guys, All of the permit points are squared and it is true if you put in as a group they add up all points then average them out then square them.Say one guy has 1 point other has 9 =10 divided buy 2 = 5 squared =25 times in the barrel jim |

Rackattack was right! I found this question and answer on WDFW website. Q: What if I apply in a group and we have a different number of points built up? Whose points are used? A: On group applications, the points of all of the applicants are averaged and the average is used in the drawing for that application. If the first group member has two points and the second one has six, then four points are used for the drawing. If the first member has one point, the second member has two, and a third member has four, then two points are used in the drawing for that application. The averaged points are rounded to the nearest whole number. Q: What happens if a group application comes up and there are fewer permits left than there are members in the group? A: If there are fewer permits left for a hunt than there are members in a group whose application is drawn, none of the applicants on that application are awarded a permit. The drawing continues until either an Individual Application or a Group Application with fewer members is drawn for that hunt. This is the way it was done when the drawing was actually done using barrels and cards. It is not possible to award more permits for a hunt than what is allowed by the Fish and Wildlife Commission. It's great to know that there are informed hunters on this site. Thanks guys! |
