Round 1 is complete! Standings are updated, and more fun begins.
Today, it’s Match 13, from Group A:
Tim Ryan vs. terry mcauliffe
Now, a word. I started this as a very straw poll for us to look at two candidates at a time, and determine whether one candidate would be a good choice for the nomination, both were worth looking at for the nomination, or neither was worth looking at. So, if you look at the two we have today, you could say, “Ryan is good, McAuliffe, not so much,” or “Meh on Ryan, definitely on McAuliffe,”, or “Both are great!” or “Both just don’t cut it for me.” I find this to be a more interesting way to assess the candidates, because it’s not a win-lose situation. It’s up to us to learn about these folks, and decide if we want them representing us going forward. In other words, would this person make a good president?
So, standard disclaimer: you can vote for one, “Either”, or “Neither”.

Each team will receive a score based on the integer value of their percentage of vote divided by 10. You can vote one, the other, Either, or Neither. "Either" and "Neither" are considered ties; the score of the game will be the score of the higher-placing candidate if either, and the score of the lower placing candidate if neither.
For example, Obama beat Clinton 39%-29%, with “Either” getting 29%, and “Neither” getting 23%, the final score would be Obama 3, Clinton 2. If the votes had been Either 60%, Obama 21%, Clinton 19%, Neither 0%, the score would be Obama 2 Clinton 2.
Wins are worth 3 points, while a tie is worth one.
Forfeits will be scored as 3-0 victories.
