This is correct...average group points are what the computer uses to place groups/people who requested tee times. You can have a large group and if your group's average points are low (in the 2.0-2.5 range) you'll likely get your tee time. The system is set up to allow players who haven't played as much as others to get a slot. It's a fair system IMHO...although antiquated and a bit cumbersome to use...same system has been around for some 15-20 years.
