make it easier to choose chess 960 rapid games (15+10 or 10+5).

In chess.com, if I want to pick a chess960 rapid game, I need to pick "custom", then separately pick "15+10" (for example) in the time option.

The problem with this is few players do this, and so I rarely find a game, even at my 900-something Elo.

It's easier to find a blitz game, since blitz is the default time control for 960.  But this makes little sense to me, since 960 requires calculation from move 1, so the blitz time control is hardly suitable for most players, especially since there is just a single live 960 Elo, so if I were to play 960 blitz it would likely tank my rating for rapid games.

I propose picking reasonable rapid time controls in 960 be made easier, for example 15+10 or 10+5.  This would increase the probability of matching the pool.
