Stage Election

Process:

Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Winner votes for a stage they want to play on.
Loser agrees or denies. If the loser denies the stage is struck. Go to step 4.
Loser votes for a stage they want to play on.
Winner agrees or denies. If the winner denies the stage is struck. Go to step 6.
Repeat steps 2-5 until there is one stage left. Play on the leftover stage.

Advantages Over Traditional Striking:

Functionality only requires the stage list to be odd numbered.
Speeds up stage selection with larger lists by virtue of functioning on agreements.
Provides structure for lists void of the “starter” vs. “counter-pick” dynamic.
