Well, I have nothing against using beatpaths if the scores really do 
represent the way the results are tabulated (except that I must admit, I've 
yet to quite understand how to work that method into my code .. I will look 
into it further unless I first hit upon something that is really really 
easy to code and works really well :) ).  I have heard your suggestion of 
instead using the pairwise score against the winner, but don't feel it 
meets my criteria of being consistant with the logic used for determining 
ranking order.  I prefer not have something that is "use this method, 
unless a certain case happens that causes a noticable conflict and then 
fall back on a completely different system".
