I really like an idea I've seen on here for people buying in with a set amount, let's call it $70 + $10 bounty. You get 1 re-buy built into that initial buy-in. If you get felted, you get a new starting stack. But if you don't get felted by the end of the "re-buy" period, it turns into an add-on.
Let's say this is a T25 base, 25/50 starting blinds, 10K starting stack. So 200bb. I was going to institute on-time attendance and other factors to give a bonus of up to 3-5K.
I also love to run tournaments with bounties as my players enjoy that they can lock up some money even if they end up busting outside of the money.
Every initial buy in will have a $5 bounty. I think the built in "rebuy" will also have a $5 bounty.
Here are the questions:

Here are the questions:
- I think the re-buy should be for the full 10K starting. Is there a good argument for it being higher, since the average stack size has now increased?
- Should the add-on also be the full 10k? or something more like 5k? So a survival bonus, but not a full starting stack?
- If a player makes it to the end of the rebuy period without rebuying, and therefore they are going get an add-on...what should happen to their second $5 bounty? Should that person simply "win" it and therefore lock up $5? Or does their future knockout now become worth $10? <--This seems like it would be harder to keep track of, unless you used a separate chip, such as a $10 chip or maybe the rebuy chip.
- Should the tournament structure be more aggressive, since the amount of tournament chips is guaranteed to increase by 50-100% (depending on the addon amount), since all players will either "rebuy" or "addon"?
