Tideman's method fails to meet Fishburn's "No-Show Criterion". 
***
Example 1:

   37 voters vote C > A > B > D.
   20 voters vote B > D > A > C.
   18 voters vote A > D > C > B.
   15 voters vote B > D > C > A.
   07 voters vote D > A > C > B.
   03 voters vote C > B > A > D.
***
Thus: Candidate C wins the election.

Example 2:

   Suppose, that additional 6 voters vote
   B > D > C > A. Then, we have:

   37 voters vote C > A > B > D.
   20 voters vote B > D > A > C.
   18 voters vote A > D > C > B.
   21 voters vote B > D > C > A.
   07 voters vote D > A > C > B.
   03 voters vote C > B > A > D.
***
Thus: Candidate A wins the election.
