Everyone will play agains each peron of the opposite pary in their bracket twice and after this we will eliminate the lowest person in each bracket of each party, leaving us with 16 people in round three.
But, before I can start I need to know how to make the scenario more balanced, because it seems to favor Republicans.
I think, once you get real candidates squaring off against each other, there may not be a GOP bias. I remember the last time we did this, and while the Rs tended to do better in the dummy round...the dems held up later.
There are too many other factors...(random scandals, state of origin quirks, and the abilities of each candidate) which may cause an advantage.
And one other thing...possibly in the game, as in real life, the electoral map may just favor the GOP...to remove that, would possibly make things unrealistic.
