<DIV>Note that the method of that post (which I've been referring to as "first preference Copeland") ...</DIV>

<DIV>Kristofer,</DIV>
<DIV>Yes,sorry, that was a not-well-considered posting of mine that I'd forgotten.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That method, the basic version of which was introduced by Forest Simmons as "Clone-proofed</DIV>
<DIV>Copeland", doesn't meet "Mutual Dominant Quarter Burial Resistance" (MDQBR).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>26: A>B</DIV>
<DIV>25: C>A</DIV>
<DIV>02: C>B<BR>25: B>A</DIV>
<DIV>22: B>C<BR><BR>A>B 51-49, A>C 51-49, B>C 73-27. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FPs: A26, B47, C27. A is the CW and wins with the penalty score of "total FPs of candidates<BR>pairwise beaten by" of zero. With over a quarter of the FPs A is a "mutual dominant quarter" </DIV>
<DIV>candidate.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Say two of the 25 B>A change to B>C:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>26: A>B</DIV>
<DIV>25: C>A</DIV>
<DIV>02: C>B<BR>23: B>A</DIV>
<DIV>24: B>C<BR><BR>A>B 51-49, C>A 51-49, B>C 73-27</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now the penalty scores are A27, B26, C47. The Burial has worked, the new winner is B.<BR><BR>Chris Benham<BR></DIV></DIV></div><br>
