Montana Party Applications

[rmyoung1]

I see in the MT regs where it states that base bonus points will be averaged between the applicants and then rounded to the nearest whole number if people choose to apply together as a party.
I have 2 base points for antelope and my brother has 1. If we apply as a party, our base points will be averaged to 1.5, obviously. So here's my question:
Are we going to go into the draw with 1 base point or 2? In other words, is MT FWP going to round 1.5 up to 2 or down to 1?

Nearest whole number...I'd say your party will go into the draw with the lowest of 5 random numbers...2 squared=4+1=5.

 

[rmyoung1]

So you think they round .5 up? Some states round .5 down which is why I'm asking.

Give Helena a call...but I believe they'll round up at .5.

It isnt clear in the regulations though.

Just got off the phone...they round up at .5

Unfortunately, I did give Helena a call and the lady didn't know the answer.

I just called and they average your base points and they do round up at .5.

So, your PARTY will be assigned the lowest of your 5 numbers.
