New tournament format - Lichess Heptathlon

hmm it definitely needs a choice when you create the tournament because i personelly hate horde and am really bad at it, but other people like it, also different people like different variants so it would probably have to be a team thing otherwise i don't think enough players would join them but other than that its great!
For user-created torunaments option: while creating tournament you can choose which variants are available, possibly including: "from position", should be fine, but if you're suggesting official multivariant torunaments, then I believe it should include all variants
I would be somewhat intrigued over this. Though you should include all variants in the interest of everyone's tastes.
You should be able to chose which variants you want to get paired up with and you have a limit for the amount of variants you do not chose.
They should randomize timing and use every single variant randomly.

So one game, you play a standard 20+4 game, the next, maybe a 1/4+1 crazyhouse game, the next, maybe a 180+180 antichess game, and so on.

And this lasts for a week.
Very Good idea; I would prefer a pentathlon: chess960, KOTH, Racing Kings, 3Check, Crazyhouse
Very good idea. I would love to play a tournament like suggested.
