In this system, hunts without a registration fee will follow the same process as those with a fee. Applicants must add a hunt to their cart and place an order to submit their application. If the transaction total is $0, the applicant will not be asked to enter credit card information.
To view draw results, applicants can log into their online services account or click "View hunt draw results" on the website.
