Ouch!
. As Kristofer just wrote, Condorcet is a much better method than
IRV for what you are promising - Interesting that Condorcet offers
(more than) the same voter ranking capabilities as IRV, but does much
better counting.
. CIVS offers, available now, what you seem to be trying.
Recommend you study this description of CIVS and consider what it
offers: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html

I hope everyone is interested in a new online survey site intended
to prove how much better IRV-enabled surveys are than traditional
"one choice" or approval surveys.
http://TryIRV.us is the current url, and we are still correcting it
and adding features. It is based on Demochoice code.
The goal is that people invited to vote in a survey will be more
likely to vote in multiple surveys (created by different authors)
than they do using http://Demochoice.org polls, so it will evolved
into service for useful for taking IRV surveys of the general web-
surfing public, and ranked voting will more rapidly catch on.
We're doing a little web publicity this week so that it will already
be going a little bit when the wider publicity starts next week, so
it would be great if you can help it get started by checking every
once in a while and voting the first new surveys created to motivate
IRV newbies. By next week you will be able to easily embed hot
links within the surveys, sot it will be easy to have a survey about
"best ranked voting system" and link each survey choice to a site
explaining each system.
Thanks.
