I believe the following is an accurate description of Coombs' method:

If at any time one candidate has a majority of first place votes, then this is the winner. As long as this is not the case, the candidate with the most last place votes is eliminated.

Unfortunately the article describes a different method; it appears to be a modification meant to always elect a Condorcet winner if it exists. -- 212.127.214.105 19:18, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
