You have 5 choices on your tags.
Your app number goes into a computer, which randomly gives it a number.
The numbers of all applicants are then put in order.
The computer starts with the first app and goes down their 5 choices, and continues with each app until all tags are allocated.
If you don't draw, you get a bonus point. They are squared, and you get one for the year you are one. 5 bonus points = 26 random numbers, and you are assigned the lowest number.
With this system, everyone has a chance to draw, no points or 100 points.
Its the low number that counts. Kinda like the guy that buys one raffle ticket and wins vs. the person who spends hundreds on a thousand raffle tickets.
Anyway, thats the short version.
Apps are due in mid April every year!
Good luck and welcome to NV!!
Later,
