What I mean is, we all go into the game equally, no one has an advantage, but the fact is, some try to gain advantage of getting tag, whether it be by sharing points or paying an extra $200. I do both sometimes. But everyone has both those same two options available, even guys with 6 points who share with someone with 12.
If the goal here is to eliminate everything that one person could do to increase their odds of getting a tag, then regular and special draws should be eliminated, because I have a better chance of getting a tag by applying in the special draw and guys who don't want to pay the extra $200 are at what some might call a ?disadvantage?. I don't call it a ?disadvantage?, I call it a choice not chosen.
That's what I mean.
