Bounty format breakdown
For those unclear on how exactly the bounty tournament formats work, here's a quick debrief.
In progressive bounty tournaments, players win prizes every time they eliminate a player from the competition. The bounty prizes collected are an addition to the standard prize money. The bounty prizes grow bigger as the tournament progresses; when eliminating players that have KO'd multiple opponents, the bounty prize will be far more significant.
In mystery bounty tournaments, each player's buy-in splits 50/50 with half going to the prize pool and the other half to the bounty pool. The tournament play divides into phases, with Phase 1 played like a normal tournament with no bounties awarded for eliminations. In the Final Stage, the bounties come into play, and each knockout rewards a random mystery bounty.
