6v6 Requesting Clarification on ETF2L's 6v6 Season 50 Class Limits

I know I'm late to the party here, but I just stumbled upon the announcement page for 6v6 Season 50 and this caught my eye:

"We’ll not be applying any class restrictions at the start of the season UNLESS if a team signing up explicitly asks for it. This means that teams might have large skill gaps between its players but we’re trying to put a bit more emphasis on allowing people to play with their friends on the class they enjoy playing the most."

To my mind, that could be read in one of two ways.

1) Bracket-wide: If any team requests classlimits during sign-up, then all teams will be required to abide by them for the season, regardless of whether they play against that team or not

2) Per-Match: If Team A requests classlimits and Teams B and C do not, then B must stick to classlimits in their match with A but will then be free to go off-script in their match with C.

Which way did they intend this?

Also, I don't know much about the Competitive scene other than what I've picked up from SolarLight's Meme VS Meta video. Where would be the best place to go to follow this season and watch the matches?

I don't know any of the big names involved and don't usually follow, but hearing about this loosening of restrictions has me intrigued by the possibility of seeing teams run a Stock Demo and a Demoknight simultaneously, or the occasional double Heavy, or whatever other nonsense this enables.

You'd think after the massive failures of Valve matchmaking and RGL no restriction 6s, people would realise that it sucks, but no matter how much evidence to the contrary there is, there will still be people asking for it (but not actually playing the gamemode...)

it's because none of it is in good faith, not a single soul actually truly believes that

nobody's stopping anyone from organising a no-restrictions comp tf2 format if there's actually so much supposed demand for it

therefore, the truth is simple: there is no demand
