What I was thinking when I asked this was that if you got 33.3%+ 2+
ratings, you also necessarily got 33.3% 1+ ratings. So, if I understand
things, the way to not win on the second method is if somebody else
has fewer 2+ ratings than you but more 1+ ratings than you.

So the combined method is something like identifying the ambiguity
between two Bucklin-like levels and having a pairwise contest to
resolve it.

Honestly I don't how well that is going to work... It seems to me it's
the better bet to try to avoid having the pairwise contest.
