Preference points for a group? Average up or down?

[ThunderBall]

If I have 3 points and put in with a person who has 4, (so a 3.5 average) . Does the system round it up or down for the drawing?

Any response appreciated,

Neither, it goes with the points of the low man.

You both go in with 3

Or to simplify your question so there is no gray area, you have 0 points, your buddy has 10, you put in as a group you're group has 0 points.

There is no average, As fallguy says it goes off the lowest points in the group, and brings everyone to that level no mater how many accumulated points the group has as a whole.

What State?
In Utah your groups total points are averaged and then rounded down to nearest whole number.
In your scenario you and your other person would both be entered in as having 3,not 3.5, points.
I hope this helps?

Since this is the CO forum…

CPW encourages high point holders to join low point holders on applications as a tactic to slow down point creep ----- ha ha just kidding.

Thunderball - Have your buddy draw the tag and go help him on his hunt and he join you a few years later when you draw the tag.

Oops, did not realize.
Sorry.

Done that many times.

From all the information I have been able to gather on multiple states in the past 8 years party hunting tanks your odds of drawing unless you are a 0-1 point holder partnering with a high point holder. I have since stopped and had to tell several family members no. Party applications feel like a scam sold by the states to get an app fee that will hardly draw a tag. Just my two cents.

Every state is different. WY is the home for NR party applications. CO is a no go, some average some don’t. If you know the rules you can use them to your advantage.

We have stopped applying as party unless it is a out of state hunt and we want to hunt together. In my home state of Wyoming we all apply separately to increase odds of someone drawing a decent tag.
