[EM] Does this method already have a name?

Ballots are ordinal with approval cutoffs.
The candidate with "Maximum Minimal Reactionary Approval" wins.
A candidate's "reactionary approval" relative to another candidate is
the approval she would get if the approval cutoff were moved adjacent
to (but not past) the other candidate's position in the ballot order on
every ballot.
So each candidate's score is her minimum reactionary approval relative
to the other candidates. The candidate with the highest score wins.
It turns out that when rankings are complete this method is equivalent
to the common versions of MinMax.
It doesn't get tripped up on Kevin's standard example against pure MMPO:
49 A
1 A=B
1 B=C
49 C
Does it satisfy the FBC?
