Line 6:
* Votes are tallied for each pair of candidates X and Y, to see what portion of ballots that rate X "Good" will rate Y at least "OK".
** A ballot that rates N different candidates "good" only counts as 1/N in each of these tallies.
*** In settings where ballots may be hand-counted, there may be rules limiting each ballot to rate no more than a certain number of candidates as "good", and rules for approximate counting of ballots that rate too many candidates as "good". The simplest rule would be '''rate only 1 candidate as good'''.
** For example, suppose that there were three candidates: X, Y, and Z. If the three ballots were "Good, OK, Bad", "Good, Good, Bad", and "Good, Bad, Good", then the XY tally would be 1+.5+.5=2 X, votes of which 1+.5=1.5 rate Y at least OK.

(Note that the above ballot format and rules are basically the same as those of [3-2-1 voting], a single-winner, nonproportional voting method.)
