To clarify, MMCWPO is MinMax (MMPO) combined with James Green-Armytage's Cardinal Weighted Pairwise method. That is, one accumulates two pairwise matrices. The first is the standard pairwise array, with position (A, B) containing the number of ballots ranking A over B. The second array stores cardinal weighted preferences: in those cases where a ballot prefers candidate A to candidate B, save A-score minus B-score into position (A, B). Applying this to MMPO: instead of using winning votes, determine the pairwise opposition for a defeat by the CW(A,B) score-difference sum instead of P(A,B) winning votes.
