Use of extended pie rule for chess variants: [Subject Thread] [Add Response]

My understanding about this category I mentioned here, is a version of the
Method is used with the likes of Squad Leader, in picking scenarios.  What
I add with the Limited Dutch Offer is another turn where traps can be
removed from play.  The idea is the same for both.  One could also decide
to do this for a single round play of one game, with a pool of variants. 
One person could pick a chess variant for both to play in the tournament,
and the other person then picks what side to play. They could also go and
do an adjustment to the board (both sides), and the initial player who
picked the variant picks both sides.


Another way to handle this is to have a player propose draw advantage to
one side, and an adjustment in other things like time to play, and so on.
