"any accumulated pref points" are at the time of draw" which was in the Spring. If he purchased his 3rd NR pref pt this month, then he will have that in January 2024. He will lose the one purchased in sept 2021, and the one purchased in sept 2022 because he didn't put in for the consecutive license years of 2022 and 2023. This is all assuming he purchased his first NR pref pt in sept 2021. He can then go into the draw in 2024 and purchase a second pref pt and have 2 going into the 2024 draw. If he doesn't put in for 2024, then he will be at 0 in January 2025, unless he buys another NR pref point in Sept 2024, and will again only have that 1 point in January 2025. The only way guys ever have 3 NR pref points going into the draw is if they did not pull a tag the year before when applying and buying a pref point with their application. That's why no one ever has more than 3 points when you look at the draw stats.
It's a simple as, don't buy a NR pref point until the year before you are going to apply.
I never said bonus points reset. Read my post again.
