'''BPW''' (for '''Beats Plurality Winner''') is a Condorcet completion method invented and studied by Eivind Stensholt as an attempt to reduce burial incentive.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Stensholt|first=Eivind|date=2008-06-12|title=Condorcet Methods - When, Why and How?|url=https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=1145304|language=en|location=Rochester, NY}}</ref> It is only defined for up to three candidates and doesn't have an obvious way of being expanded to more. In the absence of a CW, one elects the candidate who defeats the [[FPP]] winner pairwise.
== Notes ==
One could potentially extend BPW to all elections by 1) first eliminating everyone not in a particular set (i.e. the [[Smith set]]) before running BPW, and/or 2) using another voting method to reduce the number of candidates down to three.
