A tournament I frequent has optional bounties. If you dont have a bounty chip, you dont collect them. If someone gets knocked out with a bounty by someone without a bounty, he cashes his chip back in for purchase amount. We play a $50 buyin with an optional $5 bounty.that was actually a follow up question I had. Would a bounty be mandatory or optional? I could see it both ways:
Mandatory: pretty obvious how it works now barring any other fun bounty tournaments.
Optional: Pay out bounties as normal, but you don't get anything if you knock someone out with a bounty but you didn't pay in yourself, and the person you knock out gets any bounties they may have acquired.
There is also an optional $5 high hand of the night.
