- Starting with the top 21 point getter who randomizes to spot one, they will have the first pick of the 21 lots; Point getter in spot two will have the second pick of the 21 lots; etc.
- Once your spot is reached for selecting a lot, the player/participant will have 24 hours to make their selection (time starts based on the post of the time stamp of the previous lot selector). If not made within 24 hours participant will be skipped and the next person in pick order will make their selection. If you are skipped no additional opportunities to select a pin lot will be given. If you do think you will be unavailable when your number is up, you may contact the game ref (TMMR) and provide a ranked list of the pins of interest and the ref will pick your pin lot.
