BTR stands for Bottom Two Runoff. Rob LeGrand apparently invented the method. Someone besides me probably came up with that phrase. I came up with the BTR acronym, and encouraged people to pronounce it as "better". I briefly thought about trying to persuade IRV supporters to promote BTR-IRV instead, but soon cooled off to the idea.
