Title: Montana Bonus Points
Post by: dvolmer on March 06, 2022, 03:37:23 PM

Anyone know off of the top of their head how Montana deals with party applications with members of party having different number of bonus points?  Do they average?  Lowest point holder?  if they average, do they round up or down at the .5 mark??  Im talking about limited entry bonus points not Preference points.

APPLYING AS A PARTY WITH BONUS POINTS
The maximum number of applicants within a group is five for deer, elk and antelope. When processing a party permit, the state will consider the average number of points between all of the party members and then round to the nearest whole number for a final party permit total. For example, a party with an average of 2.33 points would enter the draw at two points while a party with 2.66 points would enter at three.
