I would have liked to make it even easier by using creativename's X-Stat calculator. Unfortunately, however, it only spits out values rounded (also internally, I assume) to two decimal places, so using it would result in cascading rounding errors, likely eventually reaching the point where even X-Stats rounded to two decimal places are off from where they should be.

And a simplified calculation guide, incorporating all the shortcuts I was able to take to arrive at the same result: (loser's votes) divided by (half of the loser's match's total votes) multiplied by (winner's X-Stat value). If the loser lost to the overall winner, you can calculate it using an even easier method: (loser's votes) divided by (loser's match's total votes). These can be repeated as necessary through various chains, starting with the contest winner's 50.00% X-Stat value.

Ultimately, there's a surprising amount of blocs and other trends that can be derived from these values alone, if you're willing to take them more seriously than they probably should be. Random trivia that doesn't fit anywhere else in this post: Most Quotable I's Ultimate Loser is Dumb & Dumber, which probably deserves the title for failing so hard in a match it should have won with ease.

Whew! Now I'm going to rewatch Monty Python and the Holy Grail to celebrate what should have been its win. Fun contest though Zen, thank you for hosting it!
