I am not understanding what you are suggesting.

It sounds like you want to sub-divide the fourth category into these two 
sub-categories:

* A wins before cloning, A(1) wins after cloning, and A(1) wins if only 
the clones participate.

* A wins before cloning, A(1) wins after cloning, but A(1) does not win 
if only the clones participate.

Do we need to distinguish between these two cases?

It seems to me that any of the clones winning instead of the original 
similar candidate is a case of the clone displacing the original candidate.
