What are the most acceptable forms of tie breaking
other than random, that might be used before random
in the case of Condorcet Voting.

I mean actual ties in voting preferences
and not merely failure to have a Condorcet approved 
candidate.

ps.
Also, I notice that the EM webpage does not list
Condorcet as a voting system, but rather lists Minmax as
the name of the system.. but with a different type of counting
(Minmax as described there goes for a minimum score 
rather than for a maximum score as described at 
http://electionmethods.org/)

Is there another name for Condorcet voting,
and is Condorcet voting currently considered the best option
for a single winner race?
