Hello, Komrades!
Today, we look at other bracket, with a very special match-up to kick things off.
Today, it’s Group R, Match 0401:
The Dotard v. William Weld
Twitler faces off against New England blue blood! The first president with a mental acuity of someone under 35 years of age, against the former governor of Massachusetts who was born at the age of 35 (“He’s an old soul”). New York vs. Boston. Queens vs. Brahmins.
What are the criteria for this extra special match up? Well, if you like Nazis, don’t vote for Weld. If you hate women and minorities, don’t vote for Weld. If you hate former governors of Massachusetts who later run for president (*cough* Romney *cough*), don’t vote for Weld. If you think we should ignore science and let the world just go to pot, don’t vote for Weld. But, if you think we should all smoke pot, then do vote for Weld.
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 then write a special GBCW diary specifically for Kos; and if you dislike both (or, just don’t like either of them enough), choose “Neither”.
In other news: We will return to the Democratic Primary matches on Tuesday.

Match 0401: Dotard v Weld
Putin v Kim: to be determined at a later date
—
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 beats Clinton 39%-29%, with “Either” getting 29%, and “Neither” getting 23%, the final score would be Obama 3, Clinton 2, and the Dotard would tweet about birth certificates. If the votes had been Either 60%, Obama 21%, Clinton 19%, Neither 0%, the score would be Obama 2 Clinton 2, and the Dotard would tweet about emails and unsecured server.
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.
