Thought I would share this with those that put in for the Colorado species that are a part of the weighted draw process (moose, goat and bighorn sheep).
Here is what a CPW official explained to me a few months ago on the weighted draw system process:
? Each hunter is assigned a draw number (not sure on the number length, but I think the rep told me it was at least 9 digits long).
? That draw number is then reversed (first number now becomes the last number and so on).
? Then there is a physical draw to re-assign the each number. So, the way I understood this process is that there are 10 people and each is selected to draw a ?replacement? number for numbers 0-9. Essentially each number will be replaced by a new number. So for example, person A is assigned the #3. Person A draws an 8. Every 3 in each person?s draw number, now becomes an 8. This is done for each number.
? Now the replacement numbers are inserted in the reversed draw number, producing a new draw number.
? The next step is to take your weighted point number and use that as the denominator to divide your draw number by. Now the result of that division is your final draw number.
? The final draw numbers are then arranged from lowest to highest.
? Whoever has the lowest draw number gets the first tag, then the next lowest draw number gets the next tag until all tags are allocated.
Example ? let?s assume a draw number has 10 digits:
Hunter A has 4 weighted points and is assigned a draw number of: 7409837512
Now the numbers are reversed: 2157389047
New replacement numbers are drawn:
0 = 4 (zeros are now 4?s); 1=9; 2=5; 3=8; 4=0; 5=2; 6=1; 7=3; 8=6 and 9=7
New replacement numbers are giving to the hunter?s draw number for a final draw number of: 5423867403
This draw number is then divided by the weighted points: [5423867403]/4 = 1355966850
Quite a crazy process, so even if you have 13 weighted points for a species (moose, sheep or goat), you may not get a tag as a result of the randomness of the draw number.
Thanks for taking the time to write this out, Roman :upthumb:
