1: They give half the tags out as a random draw, and half the tags to the people with the most bonus points. So if there is 20 tags, 10 would go to the high points holder only and half would go to everybody including any high points holders that was not selected in the bonus points pool.
That said, just because you have 10 points does not mean you have 10 chances in the hat, it means you get 10 randomly selected numbers in a pool of numbers with every other applicant that put in for that species, you only get to keep your lowest number the rest are thrown out.
Now lets say you get lucky and draw the #1 that would mean you would have drawn any tag you put in for as there is no chance of anyone else having a lower number than you.
Now lets say you draw #5000, you could still get drawn for the tag you want as long as no one with a lower number put in for that hunt as well.
