It counts first preferences of candidates defeating the potential winner pairwise. A CW will always have a score of zero under this method. However, you are right about there being a little cause for concern: 34 A>E>F 33 B>E>F 33 C>E>F I believe this is an E-F tie. E's win over F is worthless due to E's lack of first preferences.
