So I have been thinking for the last month or so and I want to see the lichess championships. Lets get all the top players and make them face off in blitz and bullet swiss style over a couple of weeks so players can adjust to times and things since I know a lot will be traveling and so on.

I know I am missing a lot of players that deserve to be on this list and that can be sorted and arranged.
The way it would work is each player in the lichess championships would play each other in blitz and bullet. Each gets a point for a win, half for a draw. After the first week or "interzonal" a certain number would be eliminated and the remaining would face off the next week/interzonal however it was organized.
Once there are 2 players left both would face off in a series of 5 games of blitz, 10 games of bullet and the last with one game of "classical" (10 or 15m).
In the regular zonals/week playoffs it would be set up bracket style where you would play a set of 6 games 3 blitz and 3 bullet (or however it was set up) against your random parings, competing to get points.
We can hold this over 4 or 5 weeks games can be held at different times to suit the players. Would enjoy the best streamers to all participate.
If the users and top players of lichess would like to do this I would be glad to take any suggestions and put this on and run it. Very good community we have here and it would be cool to have a championship for the top players. ;)
Once again I am an ideas kind of person. I spill ideas left and right. Anything to do with this or suggestions I would love to hear.
Thanks users of lichess. :D
