If everyone 999s their choices you can end up with a lot of tag holders having high priorities then all decide they want tags in can make the wait even longer. A 5yr priority draw can have guys with a 10yr priority sitting waiting. If a bunch of these guys decide to put in it can jump the year wait to say 8 years. Without the 999 these guys are no longer in the pool.
You get enough guys with banked priority it is just like the sheep draws. If you didn't start from day one on some draws you could possible never get a tag if thee 999 guys decide to all cash in.
Without the 999 people have to prioritize their draw choices.
