Kelly: Excellent point, but count on it falling on deaf ears with the likes of Abcdxxxx....

Max: To my understanding, the winner will be the one who ends with a somple plurality of all the votes. I don't know that any kind of run-off is being proposed should nobody get the majority (a majority is nearly impossible with so many candidates).

This is why I think doing it as an Instant Runoff would be preferable, because voters could rank all of the candidates, and the most likely scenario would be that the guy who everybody tended to rank either 2nd or 3rd would probably win.
