===Variant: Defeat strength minimum===
It is possible to disregard defeats below a certain strength without harming the method's properties. This could be done if it were thought undesirable to find that the set ''S'' is empty, when one candidate would have made it into the set except for one very weak defeat.
 
Define ''q'' to be the minimum percentage of the vote which must be on the winning side of a pairwise defeat in order for it to be counted. Let ''v'' signify the total number of voters. Then change step #4 above to:
Line 50:
 
When ''q'' is set to 50%, then the method is equivalent to [[Majority Defeat Disqualification Approval]], and all values of t[a,b] (for any candidates ''a'' and ''b'') can be assumed to be zero without affecting the result.
 
[[MDDA]] fails [[Plurality criterion|Plurality]], however. It's likely that setting ''q'' to anything other than 0% will create this problem.
 
===Variant: "Tied and approved" rather than "Tied at the top"===
