Unlike other Last 2 Left Games, scoring may change throughout the game as candidates step down and as others enter late.

Scoring will be as follows:

President
Scoring = 0
One possible outcome

Loser of Presidential Election
Scoring = 2
One possible outcome

All other candidates will be assigned a score in the order they withdraw from the election. The earlier they withdraw, the higher the score they will earn. The lower the score the better.

If you forget to make a second pick, you will be assigned the No Pick entry. The score for the No Pick designation will be equivalent to the highest score assigned to a candidate of either party. This too can change as additional candidates enter the race.
