Zone Presidential Debate Rules

[shelby]

Tomorrow evening i will post the topic of the first Zone debate.

This is how the debate will work:

• i will start a thread posting the debate question for each candidate, so there will be 6 debate threads. The question will be the same for all candidates.
• Each candidate will respond to the debate question in his own thread. Feel free to confer with your staff before posting your response to the debate question.
• The opponents will then have the opportunity to post a rebuttal in all the other candidates' threads. Only one rebuttal post per candidate, per thread, please.
• Each candidate will then post responses to each rebuttal made in their own thread. One response per rebuttal, please.
• You will have 24 hours to complete the debate.

If you have any questions, please post them here. Thank you.

Is it possible to have a general poll after completing this first debate, to see how strong each candidate is?

Your poll will be like the media polls. They are good at grading where people stand, but they can not be used in any official capacity of the election. So your polls can not get people out of the race.

eliminating how many?

Re: Zone Presidential Debate Rules

It's an odd number now, so that makes things suck. If Lawsome isn't joking about being an independent write in, it would even things up again.

Re: Zone Presidential Debate Rules

After the initial primary, there will be three candidates left. They will have more debates before the another primary reduces the race to two final candidates. A final debate will be held before the final vote.

Re: Zone Presidential Debate Rules

Are we allowed to ask questions of the candidates? If so, I have one....

If elected, will you bring the groan button back?
