Can there be a new tournement system

So i was thinking it would be much better in a tournement if there was no time control such as 25 minutes for the tournement instead, you play 10 games and whoever has the most points at the end of the 10 games wins. Also if the pairings were done so that it was whoever is on 1 plays someone on 1 or 5 and 5 etc.
thats i nice idea, i think we should have the option though of which style we want to do :)

BUt yeah hope thatll be possible soon too.
It used to be possible to set up a Swiss tournament, but it appears that that option has been removed.

Swiss tournaments weren't very popular.
The main problem is that you get much longer waiting periods between games than with the Arena system.
No swiss anymore even from custom tournaments? Why remove a working, unobtrusive feature?
