Looks like you goofed.  Not so fullproof... maybe you were juggling a lot 
of different numbers and you sent out the wrong ones?  Your pairwise counts 
do not jive with the voted totals at all.

8A > 5B
8A > 5C
7B > 6C

A is the Condorcet winner.

After your proposed truncation:

2: A >B >C
4: A >C >B
2: B
3: B >C >A
2: C >A >B

8A > 5B
6A > 5C
7B > 6C

A is still the Condorcet winner.

No, but do keep trying...
