I think I've settled on the way bounties will be handled in v3.

There will be 4 types of bounties. All bounty types have the following parameters:
- Cost: How much does it cost to be eligible for a reward
- Reward: How much you get for knocking someone out
- Participants: Those who are eligible for the a reward
- Targets: Those whom the bounty is on
- When paid?: On all eliminations, only on first (before rebuys), only on final.
- Note: I've removed the "winner gets own bounty" parameter from v2. In v3, if nobody knocks you out, you get the bounty. (unless someone can convince me otherwise)

This is "player-specific" bounty from v2

Private Group

Private Targeted

The public pools are funded from the tournament prize pool (as in v2).

The two private pools are "net zero" pools. The pools are self-funded by the participants. The reward is calculated based on the number of participants, the number of times the targets are eliminated and the "when paid" option.

For private pools, the following formula calculates the reward:
