{Request of a feature} Ultrabullet "berserk only" option

We often create ultrabullet tournaments and call them "berserk only". But the problem is that many people just don't want to berserk and profiteer on freebie rating or tournament points. Since we don't have 1/8+0 specifically yet, could we please have an option for ultrabullet tournaments to enable auto-berserk for all joining players, so we could play 1/8+0 more conveniently?
The thing is, we also increase dramatically our ultra rating in these tourneys (when we're "good" at 1/8), so the people not zerking are kind of balancing that effect too
Only a new category would actually be fair for everyone
It would be optional anyway. So there would be tournaments with auto-berserk, and other tournaments would be usual with optional berserk.
Those who don't berserk ruin all the joy and intention of such tournaments. And we cannot even kick them out, unfortunately.
Time controls still are supposed to be vague. 1+0 and 2+0 are both bullet. And 1/8 shouldn't be too different in rating from 1/4.
New time control would be the best option of course. 1/8. But Lichess are reluctant to it, sadly, even though so many people actually want this to happen...
my idea:
1) create a group for people who wanna play berserk only ultra tourneys
2) make a private tourney
3) share password in the group
and those who don't berserk will be kicked from the group by the group admin
i think now is the best option.P.S what do you think about making Elite Ultra Arenas 2100+ or 2200+
@CrushKing, yes, that's a possible solution. But still not so convenient as just having tournaments with mandatory berserk. :)
Because we would have to notify everyone of the dates of tournaments, and this is difficult to do.
Though, it's possible still to try. This is the team for people interested in 1/8+0: lichess.org/team/0-time-control
No i mean that i have made some tournaments but there were no one only me
