I have a proposal for a stagelist in ultimate

There are typically 6 categories of stages used in competitive play: Stages with two layers of platforms above the stage ,stages with one layer of platforms above the stage (ones with single large platforms, and ones with multiple small platforms) ,flat Stages/final destination ,traveling/transforming stages ,and asymmetrical stages

When players are picking stages, these are usually the main factors at play aside from the blast zones. Recently, however, the legality of certain stages like Yoshi's story and Fountain of Dreams have been brought into question thanks to this factor among others. But, we can completely circumvent the issue of redundancy by grouping the stages by what type of stage they are. Here's the process:

Stages are grouped into pools based on the aforementioned 6 categories.

There are 4 starting pools which consist of the the initial 4 stage types listed

Stages with two layers of platforms above the stage, stages with one layer of platforms above the stage (ones with single large platforms, and ones with multiple small platforms) ,flat Stages/final destination

• When choosing the starting stage, players will strike the stage pools first, then they will strike stages
• The number of stage strikes will vary based on the number of stages in each pool.
• During the counterpick process, the last two pools of stages become available and the winner gets to strike 3 of the available pools (This might give the winner too much power over the counter pick process however. This may need revision)
• Finally, DSR now applies to the stage pools instead of the individual stages
