I'm not familiar with de-cloned Copeland. I think I'm seriously
misunderstanding how it works... So... X's offensive score is the sum of
the total number of ballots that favor the OTHER candidate?

6 votes: A>B
5 votes: B>A

A beats B, 6 vs 5. So... the last place votes is 5... and B is defeated by
A... so A's offensive score is 5? ???  I must have misunderstood.
