AZ Bonus Point Pass Draw Odds

I can't seem to find information on what a particular units draw odds are in the bonus point pass. I know in prior years it was possible to see what the minimum number of points were needed in order to draw a tag in the first pass. For example, in one unit I had been watching I remember that last year it required 10 points in order to be guaranteed a tag in the bonus pass. Is that information no longer published or am I just not looking in the right place?
I have looked at the harvest data into that is listed, but unless I'm missing something all I am seeing is the simple draw odds which divide the member of tags by the number of first choice applicants.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On the AZ web site go to hunting and then scroll down to additional hunting information and try Draw and Bonus Points report. You will need the hunt number for the hunt you are looking for.

Whatever the odds were last year will be pretty much irrelevant this year with the new tag allocation.

While what midwest said is correct, you can guess a little better by taking the old tag numbers and cutting them in 1/2. It probable wont work for 1, 3a, and 27 if people start jumping ship though.

It costs $35/yr, but it's a very valuable tool to quickly compare unit point trends.
If you want to PM me one unit, I'll give you the data.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for - just didn't know where to look. I know about the changes of course, and likely won't draw this year anyway - in likely at least a couple of years away. But I like to keep track, especially in light of the changes, to see how things are affected going forward.
Thanks!
