As it stands now, the information that you want and the information that you are gathering aren't exactly represented by the results.
The information you want: Which are the most well liked maps.
The information you are gathering: Each poll taker's map preferences.
These are, by far, not the same thing. If a person sits down for 20 rounds of the poll, you will know which map they like best, which they like least, and the rankings compared to the other map presented in the head to head. This is good information to have, and could help in figuring out the desired information.
However, there are two poll styles that I think would be better and give you the information you want pretty much directly.
First and simplest, put up a single map with radio buttons for "like" and "don't like." Continue through all of the maps. You can repeat to make sure the answers are consistent, but that's whatever.
Second and more complicated. List all of the maps, check boxes, choose 5(or whatever number you want) that you like best. You could also have the reverse of this where you pick 5 that you dislike most. This also has the possibility of expansion to include weighted selections, but that makes it more complicated and might give a level of exactness that isn't necessary.
