Where does the 400 come from? Is it from the initial list of 400 that the poll-providers come up with? Besides the obvious 1s and 10s, those are the only two magic numbers in the equations is why I’m asking.

Specifically, I wonder how it would compare to Condorcet.

If we could just get our hands on the top-20 ballots people sent in, we could do a test. Compare the overall rankings they came up with, with two other scorings:

1) ELO – Note that each judge would pick every player ahead of every other player ranked lower, as well as every other player not in their list that is in someone else’s list. Judges wouldn’t record any ELO votes between two players not on their top-20 list. Process, then sort by ELO.

2) Condorcet – Same scoring; all players on a top-20 list are preferred over all players not on their list, and each player is preferred over a lower ranked player on the same top-20 list. Process. Any “ties” (Smith/Schwartz sets) would just be displayed as ties.
