Knockout tournaments in lichess please

For example:
2 games: 2 wins for player - he advance
if they split the result - (if it is draw draw_ - they both advance
only the losers of a match are disquliafied

and then players who have won they match will play with players who have drawn their match ...and so on...i think this is better system because nobody will wait ever .....nobidy will wait other players to have tiebreaks :)
The draws would be adred only : after 30 moves !!!like in gm tournaments !
i think this idea is good.It's like playoff in hockey.Lichess should make tournaments like this.It will be good.
Implement sofia rules:
The players could not draw by agreement, but they could have draws by stalemate, threefold repetition, fifty-move rule, and insufficient material. Other draws are only allowed if the arbiter declares it is a drawn position
You can always build a Knockout Team.
The people that join will play against each other until the tournament process is complete. Once the manually set tournament pairings are complete. Either remove the players from the team or ask the players to quit the team. The last player in the team is the winner. Then set a new date for your tournament. It does not have to finish the same day. You could have one pairing per day. The problem is when a player is working or sleeping their time schedule must match. Ideally the tournament must be all in the same period so that the ones that join, will be able to play against anyone in the team.

Having Swiss, Round robin, Double round robin and Knockout (Single-elimination tournament) settings in the Private Tournament Settings would be outstanding work.

If there was a round robin generator page to pair our teams or players so that the colors alternate correctly, that would be fantastic.
