Components

Lichess is a free adless chess playing server with several tournaments available every minute. These tournaments are referred to "Arena"

Arena Points calculation

A win has a base score of 2 points, a draw: 1 point, and a loss is worth no points.
If you win two games consecutively you will start a double point streak, represented by a flame icon.
The following games will continue to be worth double points until you fail to win a game.
That is, a win will be worth 4 points, a draw: 2 points, and a loss will remain worth no points.

For example, two wins followed by a draw will be worth 6 points: 2 + 2 + (2 x 1)

Arena Berserk

When a player clicks the Berserk button at the beginning of the game, they lose half of their clock time, but the win is worth one extra tournament point.

Going Berserk in time controls with an increment also cancels the increment. (1+2 is an exception, it gives 1+0)

Berserk is not available for games with zero initial time (0+1, 0+2).

Berserk only grants an extra point if you play at least 7 moves in the game

Proposal Description

Arena Double Berserk.

After clicking the berserk button, losing half of your time, there should be a button for a "Double Berserk" for losing half of your berserked clock time.

A win with a "Double Berserk" will be worth two extra tournament points i.e
Instead of 2 tournament points for a win without berserk and 3 tournament point for a berserked win you gain 4 tournament points for a "Double Berserked" Win.

All arena and berserk rules still apply.

Mockups / Examples

If applicable, insert visual mockups, examples and flow-charts to show the possible result of the implementation of your suggestion.

Benefits

This will help players earn more tournament points most especially for players who intend winning the arena but are far in the table or players who joined the arena late. And it adds more fun to tournament play on Lichess.
