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: theWhen highera rankedballot candidatesranks are/ givengrades one votecandidate inhigher eachthan ofanother, theirit pairwiseis contestssaying withthat lowerthe rankedfirst candidate receives one vote in the one-to-one contest against the candidatesother.
TheSince the diagonal cells in the Condorcet pairwise matrix canare alsousually left blank, those locations can be used to store each candidate's Approval point score, in the otherwise-unused diagonal cell.
We call a candidate '''Strongly[[Techniques_of_method_design#Defeats_and_defeat_strength|Definitively defeated''']] when that candidate is pairwise defeated byin a one-to-one contest against any other candidate with higher Approval ratingscore. 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].
To determine the winner:
# Eliminate all stronglydefinitively defeated candidates.
# The winner is the candidate that pairwise defeats all other remaining candidates.
