Essentially, you can win money without cashing in the tourney. So, it might be structured like: $5 Buy-in = $4 to Prize Pool + $1 bounty on your head.

You could knock out 10 people, make $10, but then proceed to get knocked out of the tournament out of the money and still walk away with a $5 profit. Sounds like a cool idea imo.

The bounty you collect doesn't subsequently get put onto your head for others to win. I believe once you collect bounty from someone, it's yours to keep.
