One cute term for Condorcet which I came up with some time ago is VOOOTE - Virtual One-On-One Tournament Elections. Obviously, you can compress this to VOTE, and modify it with an initial letter, as in B-VOTE (Beatpath etc., which would refer to Schulze.) Feel free to use this idea if you like it. JQ
