Why doesn't Chess.com create bughouse tournaments?

I have noticed through the past few years on chess.com, there are no bughouse tournaments! Well, i noticed that you could pair up yourselves with another player, and that you can also choose your opponents. You also have the option for time control, and to make it rated or not.....so....can you create you own friendly bughouse competition?
This is a great opportunity for you to take some initiative. Why not take whatever steps are required to organize, or help organize, your own tournament? Good luck.

Because bughouse is fake chess and a recipe for disaster among players. Partners will just start arguing endlessly after about how each other screwed up and just wait until one of the user's pc lags! It is completely counter-productive to normal chess ability and it is basically a random chaotic game that shouldn't be tournamentized. Even some of the rules are flawed. I created three threads about bughouse. And stop the saccing 50% of pieces on f7! It doesn't work! I ain't gonna be able to give you 2 queens and 3 knights instantly cause you couldn't resist bxf7+!!!

Bughouse is awesome, and chess.com should do more for it. Sounds like you would benefit from not playing with partners from the random pool, and instead partnering people you know, preferably over voice chat rather than the text chat on the website.
like 5 months after i created this post, they actually make bughouse tournaments now!
theres even one right now
