The parties may agree to select more than one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. The parties may agree in writing to the selection of a particular arbitrator or particular arbitrators as a precondition for a stipulation to arbitrate.

Each party shall alternately strike one name on the list, and the last remaining name on the list shall be the arbitrator.
