Writeup on solving the write-in issue for pairwise counting:<blockquote> Bonus: The votes for each candidate can be placed in the blank cell comparing themselves to themselves in the pairwise matrix i.e. A>A would contain A's votes [number of voters ranking them].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/fsa4np/possible_solution_to_the_condorcet_writein_problem/|title=Possible solution to the Condorcet write-in problem|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref></blockquote>
It is not necessary to mark that a voter ranked a candidate if they ranked that candidate as their last choice, because this means they wouldn't vote for that candidate in any matchups. This advice is less relevant when write-ins are allowed, however, because even if a voter ranks a candidate last among the candidates named on their ballot, they are still implicitly ranking that candidate above all write-in candidates they didn't rank on their ballot.
