I think each tournament at the top level should be played with a random opening theme for half of the games and the other half a different opening. So at the start of the tournament they should have a box full of little pieces paper with an opening written on each piece of paper, and choose and opening at random from the box. Or even choose a different opening at random for each Game. What do you guys think. Is it a good idea?
