Just wanted to thank Rob L. for spotting a bug in my code when computing the winner based on the RP algorithm at my site with the following example:

4:A>B>C>D>E>F
2:A>B>F>D>E>C
4:A>E>B>F>C>D
2:A>E>F>B>C>D
2:B>F>A>C>D>E
2:C>D>B>E>F>A
4:C>D>B>F>E>A
12:D>E>C>A>B>F
8:E>C>D>B>F>A
10:F>A>B>C>D>E
6:F>A>B>D>E>C
4:F>E>D>B>C>A
3:A>E>F>C>B>D  - the three extra votes.

I now properly compute A as the sole winner when the three extra votes were added.
Without the three extra votes, there is still a tie between A & D
