The originally proposed runoff method was not levelling but the normalization from [[Instant Runoff Normalized Ratings]] (IRNR). Levelling chosen to be better shortly after. The version with IRNR normalization was previously and independently invented by user lucasvb on Reddit<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/bl6zrq/score_then_automatic_cumulative_runoff/|title=score_then_automatic_cumulative_runoff|last=|first=|date=May 6, 2019|website=|url-status=
