#If more than one candidate remains, the winner is the single candidate that defeats all others in one-to-one (pairwise)contests. |

A simple way to implement this is to permute the pairwise array so that candidates are listed in order of approval. |
|||
Then, starting with the diagonal cell corresponding to the least-approved candidate, examine all the cells in the column above the diagonal. If the candidate loses to any higher-approved candidates, proceed up the diagonal to the approval rating of the next-higher-approved candidate. |
|||
The winner is the first candidate found with no losses to higher-approved candidates. |
