Thanks for the comments, John. I know commercial guides work outside the lottery, so that wouldn't be an issue.
If you want multiple trips, I suppose you would need to have use a second person's name on the sign up. They do allow an alternate leader to pick up the permits at the Visitor Center, and I am thinking this "one-trip-per-person within the lottery" would apply to trip leader, but not the alternate leader. Maybe we can ask and clarify that part.
I, too, am wondering: One person can enter multiple applications for the lottery, and I doubt the software would be the one to enforce the one-trip rule during the lottery run. So somehow, the acceptance process would need to allow accepting only one trip, and render the others as canceled. This would require a software check in the acceptance process, and I wonder if the software people could do that in time for the next lottery.
