The draws are done by computer and [COLOR=#ff0000]if you have the guaranteed group size required, you are more than likely to get a tag , but not necessarily, as I know of groups that have had the require number in the group but have not been lucky enough to get tags for the last 2 years. They applied in tough areas.
After the guaranteed group size draw is filled [depending on the number of tags available, it goes ti step two , the large group allocation, when that is done and if there are still tags left, the draw then goes into the random draw allocation , small groups and individual applications , till all tags are drawn.
Northern Residents have a separate draw , as a small percentage of the tags are held back for the draw for them , [residents only in wmu's 1 to 42]
Info for 2016 ;
Total Tags Available;10,757
Total Applicants entered in draw; 85,499
Total Successful Applicants; 9,692 , which left 65 surplus tags that were available first come first served.
Apply and take your chances like everyone else.
