We also had an opinion poll as to whether to continue the groups, or to move Michael Bloomberg to Group C, which has three other candidates who have announced they are not running, and to replace him with Eric Swalwell. This was a decisive 1-0 victory to move Swalwell into Group F, and make Group C the “official” “Group of Death”. In this case, none of the four candidates will advance!
So, that’s why we’re having Match 12 REDUX! (atomic boogaloo) from Group F:
Eric Swalwell v Andrew Yang
It’s one declared against one undeclared. And, unlike the presidential debates, or March Madness, this match will not be televised.
So, standard disclaimer: you can vote for one, “Either”, or “Neither”. Remember, if you like only one candidate, vote for that candidate. If you like both, choose “Either”, and if you dislike both (or, just don’t like either of them enough), choose “Neither”.
In other news: I will be finding and inserting various web pages that indicate either the skinny on the candidates (including who is declared, who is thinking, and who is definitely out). Keep an eye on this and future pages, depending on my time allotment.

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. Double forfeits will be scored as 0-0.
