Combining APV and AV?

Is there a method which combines Anti-plurality voting with Instant-runoff voting? Perhaps "Transferable elimination voting". So in the Tennessee example, the first round would be

58% Memphis, 42% Knoxville, 0% Nashville, 0% Chattanooga

Memphis is eliminated so the next round is

68% Knoxville, 32% Nashville, 0% Chattanooga

Knoxville is eliminated so the next round is

32% Nashville, 68% Chattanooga

Chattanooga is eliminated and so Nashville wins --Henrygb 12:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking further, I suspect this produces the same result as Coombs' method --Henrygb 15:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While it produces different results, sometimes (SEE LATER), this hypothetical Anti-plurality voting with Instant-runoff voting is not famous enough to warrant, its own wikipedia article.
About this new voting system, leading to different results, if you imagine this situation:
40% a>b>c>d
31% c>d>a>b
29% d>c>b>a
C wins under Coombs' method, and A wins under anti plularity instand-runoff.177.92.128.26 (talk) 10:25, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
