Then start squaring and cubing points....
In the case of the group app, in most if not all states, there have to be enough tags left for the entire group to draw. Sure six guys with six points each get 36 beans in the pot total for their application, but if there are only five tags left when they get drawn then they don’t draw. In units with hundreds of tags they have better odds, but in units with only a few tags, they have severely worse odds than a solo application. Then of course there are the states that average the points. On a group app in one of those states if guys had 4, 5 and 6 points, their application would only get 5pts, and if there were only two tags left when they drew, they wouldn’t get the hunt.
I agree with the point about only drawing if there are enough tags left. But your are only ineligible for the last 5 tags. Still pays to go in as a group, IMO. With a computerized draw, you have no way of telling if you got drawn first or fifth-to-last.
