Personally, I think I did cover this in #5. The case of multiple
tied-defeats is covered by:
If two or more defeats are equivalent, those defeats are considered
together with previously kept defeats, if any.
(#4 covered what is considered to be equivalent)
Now, in light of your comments, I think my statement:
If any defeat under consideration is apart of a cycle, it is rejected.
Could be improved by changing it to:
If any defeat under consideration, which has not yet been kept, is apart
of a cycle, it is rejected.
Similarly,
If any defeat under consideration, which has not yet been kept, is not apart
of a cycle, it is kept.
I will probably also turn the word 'cycle' into a link with a more
detailed description.
