 Others have commented on the problems with this method.  But it does
explain the last matchup (Ranma-Nabiki).  Frankly, I can't see any of the
males meeting Nabiki's requirements which, I imagine, would list wealth and
intelligence as two of the three most important qualities in an ideal mate
(the latter is why I don't believe in a Nabiki-Kuno match). 

well, let's say I took the data I made up and gave Nabiki first draw...

*calculate*

...the winner would have been Ranma, -again.- Hm.

  I suspect that Nabiki would describe this as the evil of so many
lessers.
  (Two brownie points if anyone knows the comedian I paraphrased. The
original line referred to the 1988 presidential choice as 'the evil of two
lessers.')

 Also, you stated "All members of the opposite sex who refused the drawee
are eliminated,
as is the one named by the drawee."  What do you mean by "refused"?  When
did these refusals occur? 

Basically, there is a blank on the data sheet in which you list the one
person in the opposite-sex pool which under no circumstances will you date,
period.

   I'm still a little confused.  You use the clause 'as is' which I take
to mean that there are other refusals besides the 'under no circumstances'
one.
