[QUOTE="Padfoot, post: 1840984, member: 7215"] There is a good write up on the NDOW website. The way I understand in Nevada draw to work is that if you have 10 bonus points then your points are squared and that gives you 100 random numbers in the draw. The lowest of your 100 random numbers is what they use to determine what hurts you get. Your number is important relative to all the other numbers and is used for giving out tags for that species. If you get a 10 as your Lowest number then after the applicants with the nine lower numbers have gotten their picks and assuming they had tags available in the units they selected on their application, then they got a tag. Your turn. Comes up and if there are no tags available in your first two choices but there are in your third choice then you get a tag in your third unit. Everyone gets a random number and if you have no points you get one number assigned to you. If you have 20 bonus points you get 400 assigned to you. They use your lowest number to assign tags. When there are several hundred guys with 2-10 points the probability of one of them getting a tag when there are only 2-5 tags goes up because of the shear number of applicants. That’s true even if you have max points in Nevada. when you have 20 points for example your individual odds are very high but you need to think of the collective total of numbersin the pool.
