What happened to real lighning chess?

  I am not talking about Blitz or bullet but Lightning. Ten seconds per move, must move on the buzzer chess. 

Played in the British lightening champs a few times and was great fun.  Is this form of chess still played today?

   I dont see an option for it on the servers, would work well on computers as the software could prevent someone moving before their ten seconds were up, ensuring the move was made at exactly Tem seconds

bullet is faster than lightning, lightning is basically blitz

 

Except it is completely different. The rythym of it is very different, having to wait the ten seconds before being allowed to move, makes it quite a unique game
