@matthewmvp said in Hybridizing SPAV?:

According to my wikipedia education, one of the issues with SPAV compared to PAV is that it is a 'greedy algorithm' that only looks at the most locally optimal solution.
Now SAV considers the whole field at once but doesn't fix under and over votes.

AFAIK Sequential SAV and Sequential PAV are the same procedure, which is actually the trick I use to explain SPAV more intuitively: I describe SAV, then explaining how SPAV fixes the spoiler effect in SAV.

Did you read the SAV Wiki article in the past week or two? I tried explaining this way of thinking about SAV in the article to make it simpler, but might have unintentionally made it more confusing instead of less.

@brozai Bear in mind that this was one of the systems used to choose Allocated Score so getting the same result is not a surprise. Also, SSS performed equivalently from my recollection. Allocated Score was chosen because there was some intuition that it was better than SSS in terms of strategy.
