As of March 1, 2008; CBOT has changed the pricing of the Bonds along with notes. up until this date Bonds were priced in 32'nds, as of te 1st, they now include half points of 1/32, so pricing now goes .05/32, 1/32, 1.5/32, 2/32 and so on up to 32/32 which makes on full point. then it repeats. there are 64 ticks in the Bonds that make one full point .....confusing.........think of it this way....

One point = 32/32 = 64 ticks because bonds move 1/2 of 1/32 per tick. each tick is worth $15.625 x 64 = $1,000

Still confused........
