It’s still working for Iowa and in order to get drawn for the good areas you just about have to have 3 points.
That being said I agree with you but an Iowa hunt is on my bucket list and I’m willing to play the game to get there.

Then once you have say three points you automatically get drawn for one of the hunts. Gosh, you sound like you're *entitled* to a tag with all those points. Iowa, Colorado and other states have been doing the points deal successfully for years without, best I can tell, any significant issues or problems. Always clear-cut, you know what's happening, and you know once you earn or buy 3 or more (depending on the species tag) then you'll probably have a great chance of drawing.

There is nothing successful about Colorado’s point and draw system. Unless, success is determined by political power, financial extortion, and government overreach. If CO polled their customer satisfaction, it would be dismal. But they would never consider doing such, they don’t give a shucks...until the money dries up from hunters, guide networks, and lobbyist. If Alabama ever followed CO, I’d sell my hunting rifle.

Rumors are here that three guys have hunted the crow creek soa several different times. Their names were actually drawn multiple times, not just invites from others. Kinda jacked up if that’s true. I’ve been putting in since it first came available, never even been drawn as an alternate. I saw this multiple times when I would put in for waterfowl reservations while stationed in CA. You would see that same ID# getting drawn over and over again. Some people hypothesized that the computer program somehow favored those numbers in some kind of "loop theory." You were lucky to draw 1 or 2 ressies per waterfowl area per year. It was really frustrating. The best way to beat the system is to have buddies who are also applying, but everyone needs to have some kind of "deal" deciding who gets to go as the extra. Another consideration would be the "sweat line" option. AL would issue less that the maximum SOA hunts, and allow people to show up and wait for the open spots. We used to show up at least 3-4 hours early, around 11pm, to put our names on the sweat line list. People are going to say, "that sucks it's a waste of time," but if you don't want to hunt that bad, I bet someone there does. Just my thoughts.

You accumulate points until drawn, "spend"/lose all your points when drawn, go to the back of the line to start over.

Iowa is not stupid. Here’s is what they made just off of people drawing tags for 2019. Points were $50 then now it went up to $60 Archery. Points used to draw $ amount of points 1. 251 $12,550 2. 265 $ 26,500 3. 950 $ 142,500 4. 510 $ 102,000 5. 86 $ 21,500 6. 19 $ 5,700 7. 7 $ 2,450 Total. $313,200
Gun 1. 1932 $96,600 2. 235 $23,500 3. 70 $10,500 4. 36 $ 7,200 5. 2 $500 6. 3 $900 7. 4 $1,400 Total $140,600 Total ALL $453,800 Points is big business. Not bad money for not doing anything.
