=== Tallying Votes ===
The rankings on a single ballot are added into a round-robin table using the standard [[Condorcet_method#Counting_with_matrices|Condorcet pairwise matrix]] method: the higher ranked candidates are given one vote in each of their pairwise contests with lower ranked candidates.


Rankings are added into a pairwise array. The approval scores of each candidate can be stored the diagonal cells, which are unused in other non-Approval-Condorcet hybrids.
The Condorcet pairwise matrix can also be used to store each candidate's Approval point score, in the diagonal cell which is unused in other Condorcet methods.


We call a candidate '''Strongly defeated''' when that candidate is pairwise defeated by any other candidate with higher Approval rating. This kind of defeat is also called an Approval-consistent or [http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Techniques_of_method_design#Defeats_and_defeat_strength definitive defeat].
