Each year, the members of the San Francisco FrontRunners nominate and select Bay Area charities serving the LGBT and greater community to be the recipient of the net proceeds from the annual Pride Run and Sponsorship dollars.

The 2012 beneficiary was selected via Score Voting on a 0-10 scale, from three candidates. The winner was Out In the Bay.

Below is the anonymized ballot data, which reveals very little use of tactical exaggeration (using only 0's and 10's) as well as very little "bullet voting" for only one candidate.

Of note: it looks like the Condorcet winner was JFCS. (Assuming my
quicky excel is right, OitB > BARS by 50, JFFC > BARS by 40., and
JFCS > OitB by a narrow 7.)

if you can convert to A>B>C format then it is easily run thru various
voting methods.
