The grades or ranks for this system could be numbers instead of letter grades. Terms such as "graded MAV" or "rated MAV" can be used to distinguish these possibilities if necessary. In either case, descriptive labels for the ratings or grades are recommended. For instance, for the letter grades: |

||
*D: |
*D: Probable opposition (unless no other candidate has a majority at any level) |
||
*F: |
*F: Defenite opposition. |
