Apply as a crew
Most lotteries let every member of a party apply, and only one entry has to win. A pool keeps the applications, the dates and the result in one place so nobody in the crew misses the deadline.

When does the Rim-to-Rim lottery open?
The managing agency has not published the next Rim-to-Rim application window yet. PermitSnag reads the official schedule every day, and this page carries the dates the day they post.
Will PermitSnag remind me about the Rim-to-Rim lottery?
Yes. Track Rim-to-Rim and you get an email when applications open, another before the deadline, and one when results post. You apply once and stop watching the calendar.
