Different time controls for each of the shield battles

What about having different time controls for each of the shields of every variant?
For example, on June 3+2 Chess960 shield. On July, 3+0. On August 1+0 and on September , 2+1 .
I know people will think thats a bad idea but I think it could be more exciting if this shield tournaments could be changing of time control each time. So people that prefer playing that variant with a slow time control could keep doing it on the slower shield battles.
But this could be an oportunity for all the players that like that presure in your time , and prefers playing faster games. And im not saying anyithing about faster than 1+0 for example, because this would be just beeing fast. But needer 20+20 because it would be veeery long.
So people that prefer the 3+2 could still play with this time control shield, but a player that usually plays 2+0 could also play one shield with his favorite time control.
P.D. I my have explained wrong, as my english is not the best one. If u dont understund something just ask me.
That would be too many shields and be illogical, but I do think marathons should have more time control then 3/0, 2/1, 5/0 and 1/0
@ZerkBackAll No it would just have the main ones. For example 6:
1+0, 2+1, 3+0, 3+2, 5+0, 5+3
And if u are a 2+0 player you just would have to adapt to 1+0, 2+1 or 3+0. Does that sound logical?
