Many people complain about the current rule for the mapchoice in the Title Matches. The game of Ace vs. notas last Month in ffa on asteroids is a very good example of how this rule can turn out.
We already ran a poll if an option would be a limited mapset to pick the maps in the Title Matches from. The majority disliked the idea. Yet, the current situation is not really ideal, thats why we run another poll with yet another idea:
The pool of maps that you may choose from stays as is. You may pick all maps that are in the game's menu and work with the respective mode (= have the right entities for it). BUT: The Titleholder and the Challenger have to name 3 maps from that pool each - and those 3 maps are then the only ones they may choose from in the Title Match. The Titleholder has to let the refs know BEFORE the respective qualification game takes place and the challenger has to name the maps right after (s)he/they qualified. After each Qualification game the Refs will let the respective opponent know about the mapchoice. If someone fails to name the maps in time the Refs will name 3 random maps instead.
This way Titleholder and Challenger both know right after the Qualification game, which is usually 1 week in front of the Title Matches.
We believe this would be a good and fair solution for both: players in favor of the current rule and the ones against it. There would still be the option to play rather rarely played maps, but the opponent would have the time to train them.
