'''First elimination round'''
The two options with the fewest first preferences are Chattanooga (with the fewest - 15%) and Knoxville (with the second fewest - 17%). So Chattanooga and Knoxville are the options which have a possibility of being eliminated in the first round.
Chattanooga is preferred to Knoxville by Memphis voters (42%), Nashville voters (26%), and Chattanooga voters (15%). This means that Chattanooga is preferred to Knoxville by 83% of voters (43% + 26% + 15%). Knoxville is preferred to Chattanooga by Knoxville voters (17%), so 17% of voters prefer Knoxville to Chattanooga.
As there are more voters who prefer Chattanooga to Knoxville (83%) than there are voters who prefer Knoxville to Chattanooga (17%), Knoxville is the pairwise loser. That means that Knoxville is eliminated in the first round. All of the votes for Knoxville have Chattanooga as a second choice, so they are transferred to Chattanooga.
'''Second elimination round'''
Nashville now has the fewest first preferences (26%), with Chattanooga having the second fewest first preferences (32%).
