I think you're right about the ties. That's the way I've always meant to do it. But I think the last two challenges I didn't - I'll have to go back and check a lot more carefully, but I just looked quickly and it looks like I discarded the "looser" from the rankings completely at least last week :( I'll have a better look when it's when I'm not tired or in a hurry, and see about correcting what's necessary.

I've been in a lot of pain; the last three weeks have been particularly bad. I have made stupid stuff and errors I'd never have done because of the pain, but it never occurred to me before I read your reply that the way I handle the voting results might be affected!
