ntpd polls your chosen time servers and determine which is aparently the "best". ntpd continuously steers your system clock towards the chosen time server.
Unless it has changed recently, it steers towards an average of all the servers that haven't been eliminated. The "best" one is only used to set the stratum and the downstream error statistics (root distance, and root dispersion).
At one time the averaging was weighted. I'm not completely sure if even that is true, now.
