The Independent Point Averaging grid is used to determine how points are assigned when the target patron has taken the independent pledge as indicated in the patron’s Independent Pledge Attribute value. This grid is similar to the Meal-Plan Point Averaging grid—points are assigned based on group member’s class level. However, in the Independent Point Averaging grid, there are two possible point values for each group member depending on whether or not the member has also taken the independent pledge. According to the default rules created with a new lottery batch, members who have taken an independent pledge contribute more points to the total number of points.
