Blind pick is intended to force you to pick w/o knowing what your opponent is playing for the FIRST match. Players tell the Refs what they're going to play. In the Lobby, they pick their races. Not picking the race that you told the ref results in a technical foul. You start the match knowing what your opponent is playing, but you pick your race for the match not knowing.
Locking in races in subsequent games of the series means you don't get to throw a cheese strat in the first one (unless you can play that race well enough to win out).
Hopefully that clears it up. Thanks for the healthy debate here, folks, we're definitely open to feedback on our rules and have a history of listening to the community. We have actually thought about this though, so if you see something that you think is really stupid, odds are we have a reason for it.
If it is just an oversight on our part, well... then you get to call me stupid. But only until I fix it. At which point, you're stupid if you keep calling me stupid, etc, etc, etc.

I'd be mortified if let's say Bisu decided to play terran or zerg for a round in a future OSL. Just me.
