2020 Spring Marathon is bullet!?

I don't know how many have yet to notice, but when browsing upcoming tournaments I found that the 2020 Spring Marathon will be played in 2+1 time control

What are your thoughts on this?
Don't include increments, games can take too long that a lot of people will be waiting for a long time for their next game and many won't have the patience and will be dropping out of the tournament.
2+1 is fair enough. 1.5+2 would have been even better. It's fun against berserkers.
@Moving_Pieces : It's arena format, not swiss system. Two guys could play forever and no other player has to wait for them. See the tournament description:

"How does the pairing work?

At the beginning of the tournament, players are paired based on their rating.
As soon as you finish a game, return to the tournament lobby: you will then be paired with a player close to your ranking. This ensures minimum wait time, however you may not face all other players in the tournament.
Play fast and return to the lobby to play more games and win more points."
