Dear Mike, you wrote (12 Mar 2002): > Also, CSSD always chooses from the initial Schwartz set, > but Tideman doesn't.
Tideman cannot choose decisively a candidate who is not in the Schwartz set. Whether Tideman can choose randomly a candidate who is not in the Schwartz set depends on how you handle situations with defeats of equal strength. Actually, when all Schwartz winners are ranked ahead of all other candidates in the TBRC, then Tideman never chooses decisively or randomly a candidate who is not in the Schwartz set. Markus Schulze
