Thanks for the response! This is basically what I've implemented for the
algorithm I called majorityJudgement, but is this the same thing as
"bucklin majority judgement"? Is majority judgement already considered a
Bucklin system? Or is there some variation of MJ that uses Bucklin style
rounds?

I don't know of any "bucklin MJ" method, but MJ is often lumped in with
Bucklin proper because they're both median methods. MJ is a median grade
method while Bucklin is (behaves like) a median rank method.
