GOP rules say that a candidate needs to win a majority in at least eight states in order to be nominated on the floor of the convention.
It was originally aimed at stifling Ron Paul supporters at the 2012 convention.
But party officials say this threshold could be lowered in the days before the convention to either allow (or block) certain candidates from getting nominated on the convention floor.
For example, if Candidate 1 won eight states, Candidate 2 won six states and Candidate 3 won four states, then Candidate 1 may try to keep the threshold at eight states to block other candidates from being nominated, while Candidate 2 and Candidate 3 would each try to lower the bar to their own level, while blocking candidates beneath them.
