I'm not 100% exactly how they split it all up but last year if you put down GEN as your 2nd choice in the random draw side of things you were 100% successful. I would assume that is the same for the preference point side of things to.
The numbers get a bit confusing between the Random Draw Results and the Preference Point Draw results though.
Crazy thing is that over 100 folks with 2 or more preference points put in for the general tag with their special license. Those guys just basically wasted $400 since with 1 or more point the general tag is a 100% draw for the regular priced license.
Let's see if I can get this straight...
Applications ----- Special PP ------ Special Random
Total Quota --------- 1,058 ---------- 352 (75% PP; 25% Random)
ISSUED
1st choice 0 points - 524------------- 154
1st choice 1+ pts --- 535-------------- 0
2nd choice 0 points - --- ------------- 89
3rd choice 0 points - --- ------------- 20
That leaves 89 leftover tags in the Special Random draw. I still don't know how you get in the Preference Point Draw with 0 points.
The Preference point draw results don't show any information for 2nd choice results, maybe they all get thrown over to the Random after the 1st choice?
