An alternative is to have tie-breaks for every game, playing increasingly rapid time controls until the result is not a draw.
1. Classical game, win = 5 points.
2. Rapid game, win = 2 points
3. Blitz game, win = 1 point.
4. Armageddon game, win = 0.5 points.
This point layout might backfire and make the classical games even less interesting because the huge edge for winning is probably going to motivate extreme do-not-lose style play, which trends towards draws. But, nonetheless, wins in classical should be weighted well above the tie-breaks.
