IMHO competitive has been lacking proper rules about this for some time, there have been experiments with a 1 ship red 2 ship blue 1 ship red pick order type deal, but it was pretty horrible.

Personally I think a good solution to the last second switch (rough idea - needs some more thinking about the problem of teams alternating counter builds, I'm intending to make a proposal/post about this soon) would be to add a rule for the referee to ask teams if their load outs are finalized before allowing them to ready up and begin playing.

I'd also like to see a rule for all competitive matches to begin on a pause until all players have loaded in, and for the game to begin at the referee's discretion.

That would be ideal for me. I personally have trouble loading in. I'm always late. Kinda fatal if I'm a pilot. Less so as engie or gunner but still though, its a major disadvantage.

But yes, it is kinda iffy with the counter picking thing. Fighting games have been having trouble with it for years. You should look into the rules for them. As I'm certain they have a system for counter picking.

(I think it has to do with picking a main and sticking to it throughout the competition-but problem with that in guns is that that just opens ways for meta throughout)

Absolutly love the open lobby. I have more fun chit chating with the enemy and often switch ships to the otherside simply because I've made friends.

In my experience players do not view these games as red vrs blue. It's players loyal to players and the fun of the game. Dominating another team is boring, any lobby I've been in we all shift around to get the best matchup, putting noobs with experienced players to get them trained. We even had a hilarious matchup of experienced gunners and noob pilots/engineers. It was awesome and the pilots learned a ton in just one match.

That being said, there should be a competition mode where this open atmosphere is removed. I doubt there will be a lot of players there, but I think its only right to have this base and may lead to esporting or local LAN events.
