Add racing kings arenas (daily/weekly/monthly etc.)

@chessking2151 maybe. But remember there's daily tournaments in every variant (Except racing kings), and this would lead to a lot of confusion.
Don't care if nobody shows up... Staff had misguided intentions to remove these arenas. Even though this is the least popular variant, there still needs to be daily arenas like these. Horde even gets these kinds of assets... and it often takes 10 or more minutes just to find someone willing to play a game of racing kings. The staff simply needs to read this post and simply reimplement it, not leave us unanswered and unresponsive (Or in other words, "the turnup for daily racing kings is too short).
Just simply Reimplement the Daily Racing Kings arena in simple terms! I mean come on it's not that hard to read the words in a forum!
If this tournament will be created, I hope it will not be 1 min per game tournament. If you want newcomers to come, do not force them to do monkey-moving, give them time to think.

I stopped playing RK, although I enjoyed it for one reason: people wanted to play 1 min games and just quickly move pieces without any thoughts.
@nikolajtesla I'm completely fine playing 3+0. Even though I monkey-move a lot in fast time controls, I put thought into 3+0 and 3+2 in slower time control, and I'm willing to give new players a chance to think rather than getting run over by fast time controls.
#24 Most of the time in this forum I disagree with "simple" recommendations but here I agree, coding for this would be simple.
@chesslo21 would be happy to participate in 3 or 3+2 tournament. I think it costs close to nothing to add it. Also I have nothing against 1 min games, but just in my opinion it is only suited for high-rated players. Once you already know the theory and have an intuition behind the game, you can move fast.

@Toadofsky regarding adding tournaments with low participation rate. A good business example of this is amazon (just substitute low participation tournaments with products with low chance of being bought). They are beating brick and mortar shops because the price of putting the product on the shelf is close to zero for amazon, but for a physical shop you do not have enough space to put a product. So lichess should not worry about a tournament with low participation score. Just implement a filter for people to ignore tournaments and add many of them. If I do not care about anti-chess and think that 15 seconds games are stupid, I will just filter them out, but people who enjoy that 15 seconds anti-chess games will be happy to take part in the tournament.
I made a plan in hopes of adding popularity to Racing Kings in a forum:
I would like to create a Racing Kings tournnament that has the following circumstances:
2+0 time control
whoever wins gets an icon stating Racing Kings rumble champ
People need to play 30 games or more to join
Account needs to be created on January 1, 2018 or before that date (To prevent account duplicates from entering)
If anybody accuses anybody of cheating, the accuser must have 2 games or more for proof to back his/her statement up. Otherwise, the accuser gets banned from the tournament (nobody wants to see a guy repeatedly say "He cheats" without evidence).

How does that sound?
