The courts established a number of tests for inclusion in the TV-Duelle based on previous, current, and potential levels of
support a party enjoys. One of the tests is the likelihood of a party’s leader being Chancellor after the election. This requirement meant that the court had essentially backed the logic of the TV-Duelle as a contest for executive office. In a different format (distinct from the TV-Duell), each party with members in the Bundestag was invited to send a representative.
