Line 9:
## An option A transitively defeats an option C if A defeats C or if there is some other option B where A defeats B AND B transitively defeats C.
# We construct the Schwartz set from the set of transitive defeats.
## An option A is in the [[wp:Schwartz set|Schwartz set]] if for all (other) options B, either A transitively defeats B, or B does not transitively defeat A.
# If there are defeats between options in the Schwartz set, we drop the weakest such defeats from the list of pairwise defeats, and return to step 3.
## A defeat (A,X) is weaker than a defeat (B,Y) if V(A,X) is less than V(B,Y). Also, (A,X) is weaker than (B,Y) if V(A,X) is equal to V(B,Y) and V(X,A) is greater than V(Y,B).

Unfortunately noone of the management had any time to spare for counting the ballots for the poor developers after the election as they had just too many candidates, a much to big community and too much own work on their desks. Also they wanted to get the winning team quickly. So they were looking to automatically get the ranking given all the (digitized) ballots or accumulated rankings (i.e. number of ballots with a given variant of ranking).
 
In order to prepare the ceremony for the winning team a first pre-election to determine who was going to hand over the flowers to the winners was held yielding the following outcome (example from [[wikiwp:Schulze method|English Wikipedia]]):
