Say twenty, for instance. We might have situations, where we will fill for instance 12 seats (quotas for each triple of seats) and have 30 candidates, as an extreme case.
I wanted to focus on the most important case, which is the top five seats. The 12 seats/30 candidates case is an extreme, if someone wants to do serious combinatorics.
