=== Frequency of ties ===
Almost real-world elections using Ranked Robin will not have any ties for the winning candidate. However, ties under Ranked Robin may potentially be more common than ties under [[First Past the Post electoral system|Choose-one Voting]]. While there are 4 degrees of tiebreakers defined, ties after the '''1<sup>st</sup> Degree''' tiebreaker are about as rare as ties under Choose-one Voting, and ties after the '''2<sup>nd</sup> Degree''' tiebreaker are much rarer than that.
=== Degrees of ties ===
If there is a tie (including [[Condorcet paradox|Condorcet cycles]]), use the '''1<sup>st</sup> Degree''' tie-breaking method to resolve it. If there is still a tie, use the '''2<sup>nd</sup> Degree''' tiebreaker, and so on.
