20 points for selecting the person who gets the VP nod
19 points for picking runner up
18 points for picking third place runner up
Debates, as in real life, are irrelevant and thus attendance and performance has no bearing on any score
for each state primary, top points go to the winner, which is by number of individuals on the ballot, decreasing by one point down the line
Example: three candidates are in the iowa caucus. First place candidate gets 3 points, second place gets 2, last place gets 1. If there had been four candidates, the scoring would go four, three, two, 1.
(Note: the above change is such that a person who has the clear favorite does not just run away with it – this makes it so someone with places two or three in the race can stay close and potentially break through with a solid team of also-rans)
trade deadline is when polls close on the Michigan primary on February 27
In the event of a brokered convention the commissioner will instigate emergency powers and we take it day by day
Draft order is: (1) Tim, (2) Paul, (3) Nate, (4) Mike, (5) Jim
The 13 Candidates are: Doug Burgum, Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Larry Elder, Nikki Haley, Will Hurd, Asa Hutchinson, Perry Johnson, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Francis Suarez, Donald Trump
Once all candidates are off the board, we will do a “Wildcard Round” where each person will have 1 chance to select a “wild card” candidate, who can be any random loser in an attempt to pick someone for the VP nod, or the presidential race, who isn’t actively running. It can be literally anyone you think might eventually enter the race or get the VP pick.
Exception to the above is the two players who only get to pick two declared candidates will have two shots to choose randoms.
In the wildcard round, we will have the two people who only have two declared candidates coin flip for who goes first to choose order. The remaining players will go in the reverse draft order (i.e., highest draft order goes last)
