I will say, it'd be tough to imagine how to sell blinds with this year's system. The seller would have to be able to hunt it, too, unless the buyer were already in the application group…and they can only be in one, apparently.
I don't mind working with this system; it's been a painful process of unforeseen pitfalls. But if everyone understands how it works, everyone can work with it (and statistically, there will be more people who have a chance to hunt reserved blind spots as a result—just this year, setting the minimum party size at 4 should itself make a difference in # days blinds go unhunted).
But I simply never saw anything explicitly stipulating someone can only be in a single draw party—and that includes the leftover drawings! Even the TWRA officers conducting the drawing said they were at the last minute told that they could not award blinds to individuals (had to be the information of all 4+ party members in the system), and that if any individual was on the list for more than one leftover blind, there was a good chance both the leftover blind and any blind they previously drew online (if applicable) could be forfeited.
