Thanks,

We figured out that the Group Number = the DNR number of the person who first applies and creates the Group every year. The Group number does not carry over year to year. So as you said..

I was the first to apply this year using the group number from last year the result was I applied to a ‘existing group’ which was not there yet.

So later that day the guy that created the group last year created it again I should now be able to join. Since he created the Group last year and again this year the Group number is the same. Had I created the group it would be my DNR number.

This way the preference points are able to stay at a individual level and not at a Group level.

Thanks for the reply, spot on !
