After the adjusted score ballots are computed, one can additionally implement any variant of score voting. For example, '''Reciprocal [[STAR Voting]]''' (RSTAR) would have the top-two rated RSV candidates in an automatic runoff, and the most preferred candidate wins (preferably using the original ballots, not the adjusted ones).
 
If one chooses to use the adjusted ballots in the automatic runoff it is possible that factional betrayal reverses the preference of a voter, which could be problematic. For example: a voter rates (A=10 B=8 C=5 D=0), and BC are the top two under RSV. If B did not reciprocate with A and this voter's score is adjusted to B=4, this voter's runoff vote would go towards C, not B. While this could also be interpreted as a form of retaliation in the spirit of RSV, it is harder to justify as it does not directly encourage any particular positive behavior (like reciprocation).
