Description:
Simple idea (see explanation at bottom) - Banning allround schemes to create Bo3 and Bo5 series.  There are currently 11 allround schemes, so each player will get either 4 bans (group stage), or 3 bans (knockout stage).  Might also be the truest measure of allround skill that we have, instead of scheme specialization.

For groups: Players take turns banning one scheme each until 3 schemes remain, then play Bo3 series with remaining schemes. 
For knockouts: Players take turns banning one scheme each until 5 schemes remain, then play Bo5 series with remaining schemes.

Additional hypothetical explanation:
MonkeyIsland and Godmax are playing group match - Monkey chooses to ban shopper, roper, ttrr, big rr; Godmax chooses to ban t17, elite, intermediate, and aerial.  They play Bo3 with hysteria, BnG, and wxw.  Each player gets to pick which of the schemes to play/ban in alternating fashion - Monkey picks BnG, Godmax picks hysteria, pick 3 is wxw(if needed).  If players cannot decide who's picks/bans go first (imo doesn't really matter that much) use a simple game of chance https://pickerwheel.com/

This cup is spawned from Camper's dissatisfaction with allround playoff system being too slanted towards roping or a specific scheme set.  I personally agree, if you don't rope, you will maybe be forced to play 3 rope schemes in a Bo5 series, or 3 default, or 3 artillery.  This also emphasizes expertise in all disciplines (rope, default, artillery). 

ADDITIONAL NOTE: T17 is deadcode's TTL scheme instead of default allround scheme, I believe it to be better and it is played in TTL league.
