Feature request- Addition of lichess world cups

Lichess is the best chess site, but why not make it even more better?
We can organize a world cup, and here is just a small idea about how it will be organised
Rapid World Cup will be organised every 4 years
Blitz world cup will be organised every 2 years
Bullet World cup will be organised every year.

Only these 3 time controls will be used.
The World cup will last for approximately 2 months.
For the first month, Lichess will organize 30 marathons, one marathon each day.
Each player can play ONLY 1 marathon.
The top 3 of each marathon will qualify, giving us 90 players.
Then, the players will be divided into 10 pools, 9 players in each Pool.
A round robin tournament will take place, 1 round per day, and the top 2 proceed in the next round, giving us 20 players.
These players will be further divided into 4 Pools, 5 in each pool.
Once again a round robin tournament, 1 round per day.
Top 2 will qualify, giving us only 8 players.
Then there will be 4 quarter finals, where only 4 players will proceed.
Then 2 semifinals, and we will get our finalists.
10 games will be played in the rapid final, 20 in the blitz final and 30 in th bullet final
Pls take this into consideration.

I think that waiting 4 years for 1 rapid tournament on lichess is probably too long
@MohammadAayanKhan These days you are suggested too many things, and I don't think all might be applied, some are really useful ideas.
