I don't agree with the view that this rule would alienate non all-arounders. Firstly, a scheme specialist has a fair chance in Shopper/Elite/Aerial as I mentioned earlier. Secondly, this rule will more likely help scheme specialists because the opponent can't pick 3 x your biggest weakness. Players who play all the schemes are usually ranked higher and have the advantage of picking first.

I'm not sure exactly what we are debating as i can't remember previous PO rules. Please remind me :)
Then once remembering these rules, can think how they work with the new additional schemes.
Didn't we used to say no more than 3 roper schemes and wxw and shopper were in same group, if you picked shopper your opponent couldn't pick wxw? Or was that another league?

Ah now I understand :) Currently there are no rules at all. You can pick anything.
Shopper and WxW used to have a shared rating but they got separated in 2009. As WxW maps evolved, it was later grouped with Roper in "Allround league". There was a poll between two scheme class options and the one with Roper/WxW won over WxW/Shopper (see the picture below).
There was also a rule about scheme picks in playoffs but it was removed in 2011 I think.
--- Quote ---In the Classic League, the first four games must include two rope based schemes (Rope Race, Roper, WxW/Shopper) and two normal schemes (BnG, Team17, Elite, Hysteria). The last game is picked by the higher ranked player and can be any of these schemes.

That rule was quite useless anyway. You could just pick WxW first and then TTRR + Roper.

And whats your suggestion? What is the problem with the above? If highest seed player picks and has advantage to select 3 rope based schemes.. thats fair because they are the highest seeded player right?

Just changing the topic slightly.
The current system requirements at the mid way point have pretty much given us POs for tus singles. we have 30 days for 1 more active person to get a 50% winning ratio.
What about clanners?! i'm seeing some games being played...
