A revised example of clone defeats.

34 ABC
33 BCA
32 CAB
99

67 BC 32
66 AB 33
65 CA 34

A>B, B>C, C>A   circular tie

Z, a 100 percent clone of B, is added after B

34 ABZC
33 BZCA
32 CABZ
99

99 BZ 0
67 BC 32
67 ZC 32
66 AB 33
66 AZ 33
65 CA 34

B>Z, A>Z, Z>C
       A>B, B>C, C>A  (same as above)
Another circular tie

The total or partial clone in the worst defeat should be removed (whether 
there is 3, 30 or 300 in a circular tie) (???)

Borda fans (if any)- do the Borda math with additional clones-- such as Z2 
after Z, Z3 after Z2, etc.
