Hallo, here is another short, but complete definition of the Schulze method:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkusSchulze/Schulze_method_(simple_version) ********* > - "tends to produce winners with weak > worst pairwise defeats" I usually define this desideratum using MinMax scores for sets of candidates: Suppose the MinMax score of a set X of candidates is the strength of the strongest pairwise win of a candidate A outside set X against a candidate B inside set X. Then the winner should always be a candidate of the set with minimum MinMax score.
