Wyoming Point Averaging

[dannyb278]

Hoping you guys can double check my math. Previously when I've applied as part of a Party in Wyoming, there have been only 2 of us, and its been easy to figure out how many points we have has a group. This year we have 4 applicants, two of wich have the same number of points, and i'm a little confused on how those points would average out for the group. Here is the equation

Individual 1......3 points
Individual 2......3 points
Individual 3......2 points
Individual 4......1 point


2.25 is obviously the average, but I wasn't quite sure if there was some squirrely Wyoming Game and Fish math involved with having multiple 3 point applicants, held by Non-Resident hunters. 1 +1 rarely equals 2 in my experience trying to learn these non-resident regulations.

So if we all apply together, how many points would we be working with as a party?

Thanks.

2.25

total number of points/total number of people

With 4 people, odds are somebody told you wrong on their point total.

So 2.25 -ish.

As a heart attack is to a Boomer. Wasn't quite sure if there was some squirrely Wyoming Game and Fish math involved with having multiple 3 point applicants.

I know your new around here, but you might also be new to how easy it is for states to throw a curveball into how points are calculated, especially for out of state hunters. 1+1 rarely equals 2.

2.25 aka not enough likely

In the draw you'll be at 2.2500

Does a party that averages 2.75 points draw before a party with 2.25? Or would they both be placed in the "<3" category? It's my understanding that they would both be placed into the same pool and 2.75 is no better than 2.25. Not sure though.

Yes, and the averaged points goes out to 4 decimal places.

Call me paranoid, but I made everyone give me their login and passwords to verify their point levels before we applied as a group.....


"I think I have 4" doesn't cut it with this guy... lol

But are the trailing zeroes significant figures? Haha

A party with 2.2501 points would draw before a party with 2.2500 points.

So this is what it's come to?

To the 4th decimal.

Game departments are a lot better at knowing point totals than their customers.
