 * [E7] The ‘quarter of a quota’ provision is disregarded when determining whether to defer surplus distributions.
 * [E8] The distribution of a surplus is not deferred if it exactly equals the difference between the 2 trailing continuing candidates.

 * [E10] No distinction is made between stages and substages (during exclusion). This affects only the numbering of stages and not the result.
 * [E11] By default, the quota is always calculated to 2 decimal places. For full ERS76 (ERS73) compliance, set *Round quota to 0 d.p.* when the quota is more than 100 (100 or more).
