That shouldn't happen. This is a ranked ballot condorcet poll, and the stipulation that two very similar games won't both be included in the tournament removes most of the incentive for giving similar games widely different rankings. Without this stipulation, voters might sabotage one similar game to prevent both from being played in the tournament. But with this stipulation, there is no need for this. If you think very similar games are about as good as each other, you should give them roughly equal rankings. This will maximize the chance that your true preferences will be honored in the final ranking.
