Instant runoff is great and would solve a lot of issues.
A couple of questions / ideas:
1. Will voters still only rank their top 3? Or could they now order all of their preferences, since IRV allows for an easy way to handle that? It could lead to fewer complaints/issues from "X left Y off their ballot completely"
2. This would definitely be a lot more complex to present on stream or in the open ballots afterwards. Thus it would likely require users' trust that things are being handled correctly and I don't know that users trust the people in charge of awards very much right now? Although a serious attempt to fix things would definitely help.
