In the following example of a circular tie:
40 AB
9 BA
12 BC
39 C
A > B: 40 - 9 - 12 = 40 - 21 = 19
A > C: 40 + 9 - 12 - 39 = 49 - 51 = -2
B > C: 40 + 9 + 12 - 39 = 61 - 39 = 22
Which "votes against" do you use? 'C' has the greatest vote against in
a pairing, but dropping him would leave A as the winner. I had expected
B, but maybe I'm looking at the wrong figures.
To me it looks like B should be the rightful winner, since he not only
the greatest margin of victory, but the largest absolute majority.
