Forum Guidelines
Here's a list of Candidate Forum Guidelines.
Special note on canceled Forums: If all candidates for a race are not present, a Forum will be canceled. Forums are canceled when one candidate in the race notifies us that s/he will not appear, or fails to respond after multiple attempts to communicate. See this announcement for why the League doesn't do "Empty Chair" forums.
