I left a few words out of the definition of Symmetrical ICT.

Symmetrical ICT:

(X>Y) means the number of people ranking X over Y.
 (Y>X) means the number of people ranking Y over X.
 (X=Y)T means the number of people ranking X and Y at top.
 (X=Y)B means the number of people ranking X and Y at bottom.

X beats Y iff (X>Y) + (X=Y)B > (Y<X) + (X=Y)T.

1. If there is exactly one unbeaten candidate, then s/he wins.

2. If no one or everyone is unbeaten, then the winner is the candidate
who is top-ranked on the most ballots.

3. If some candidates are unbeaten, and some aren't, then the winner
is the unbeaten candidate who is top ranked on the most ballots.

A candidate is top-ranked on a ballot if no one is ranked over hir on
that ballot.

A candidate is bottom-ranked on a ballot if s/he isn't ranked over
anyone on that ballot.
