[Suggestion] Tournament points revamp

I posted this a few days ago but forgot to label it as a suggestion.

Suggestion:
Tournament points for standard chess should be multiplied by the time control. For example: at the end of the tournament - x5 for 5 0, x3 for 3 0, x10 for classical (10 0), and x1 for bullet (maybe x.5 for hyperbullet?)

Bullet players dominate the tournament points standings, and classical players don't have much of a chance, even though it's harder to win a game and requires more chess skill (less mouse skill). This would even the playing field while also encouraging more players to play longer time controls.
I'd suggest revamping the standings somehow using the existing numbers.
