New Tournament Type

Hi folks! May be this idea was already implemented, but if not, it would be fun to try it.

New Tournament name:
Gladiator Fights

Key point is that when someone lose he is kicked out from tournament. And this will continue until there is only one player left.
Also there could be some max participants count so tournament doesn't last forever. It can be based on maximum game length time, so if tournament time is 1 hour and it is 1 minute bullet game, then we can count how many games is possible in this time range:
if game is 1 min, then max time is 2 min.
Then if we have 1 hour, then ((t//gt)-1)*4 => ((60//2)-1)*4 = 116 participants max (If I'm wrong please fix me)
where:
t = time (60 min)
gt = maximum game time, e.g. if it's 1min bullet, then 1+1=2, if 10 min rapid, then 10+10=20
// - integer division so when we divide 7/2, we have 3, not 3,5

If game ends in a draw, then player, who had highest rating is removed from tournament, if they have same rating, then player with lower performance is removed if they have same performance and same rating, then winner is chosen randomly (or based on other things, you can propose your version bellow).|
