In the above scenario [[IRV]] elects Knoxville. An "instant" version of VFA Runoff could be defined like this:
 
The voter ranks the candidates. EqualFor rankingsimplicity issay notthat allowed,rankings butmust truncationbe iscomplete. While more than one candidate remains, eliminate one: If more than half of the total number of voters rank the same candidate strictly last among all remaining candidates, eliminate this candidate; otherwise eliminate the candidate with the fewest first preferences as under IRV.
 
In the above scenario, "instant" VFA Runoff would eliminate Memphis as before. At that point more than half of the voters rank Knoxville last, so that Knoxville is eliminated. At that point, this same majority ranks Chattanooga last, so that the winner of the method is Nashville, the [[Condorcet winner]].
