Wyoming non-resident draw odds reports - what do the "<" rows mean?

[RCB]

Feel free to link me to another post if this was explained elsewhere. Ultimately just trying to understand what the "<" ("less than") lines mean in the draw reports.

Consider the link here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/media/32689/download?inline
Looking at the first example (Antelope-001-1), you can see that there was a non-resident regular quota of 144. Two were given to people with 7 points; one with 6 points; seven with 5 points. Then there is a row saying that 2 were taken by people with "< 5" points. Obviously many examples all over the document.

For the life of me I can't figure this out. It's not the random draw (those are a separate pool and shown in another document). It's not a just a summary grouping of all people with <5 points, because you can see in lower rows that people with <5 points drew many more tags than 2. So what does this mean?

Is this party hunting? Maybe this is saying "there was a party of 2 with an average less than 5 but more than 4 (so, 4.5) that drew 2 tags"? This is the only explanation I can come up with.

Less than.

Less than.

I know, but what does it actually mean on a per-row basis.

The <2 line means all the preference point averages that are between 1.0001 and 1.9999, so essemtially all possible numbers (preference point averages carried to four places) between 1 and 2.

For the hunt code you asked about, via point averaging, 2 tags were issued to people with more than 4 but less than 5 points
