--oh, sorry.
I was posting that I thought some EM readers might be interested in this webpage:
http://rangevoting.org/PointRunoff.html
which contans four theorems and proofs, plus a bonus theorem.

You also can see some (rather trivial, but I suppose worth stating) theorems
about "weighted positional" voting systems here
http://rangevoting.org/WtPositnl.html

One theorem that is missing, but probably would not be hard to create, would be one
analysing which Point Runoff systems obey and disobey "clone immunity."
