So basically if a district splits 60%-20%-20%, its delegates are split evenly. What a dumb system.

Actually, no...

If one candidate gets a two-thirds majority or is the only candidate to break 20%, that candidate gets all 3 delegates:

Examples: Santorum wins 3 delegates

Santorum  69%   40%
Romney     22%   19%
Gingrich     4%     19%
Paul           5%     19%
Other         0%       3%

If two or more candidates get over 20%, the winner gets two delegates, second place gets 1 and the rest get zero.

Examples: Santorum 2; Romney 1

Santorum  65%   40%
Romney     21%   30%
Gingrich     9%     25%
Paul           5%     5%

Otherwise, the top three finishers get 1 each:

Examples: Santorum 1; Romney 1; Gingrich 1

Santorum  19%   
Romney     18%   
Gingrich     18%     
Paul           16%     
Perry          15%     
Bachman    14%
