Tourney Bounty question (1 Viewer)

[ruby tues.]

My department is going to be hosting our 2nd annual charity poker tournament to raise funds for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. One of our Chiefs is donating 2 tickets to a San Francisco Giants home game. So I'm thinking, if this is a fund raiser, then why not have the winner of last years tourney be the bounty.
My question is, what is the standard bounty buy-in? What have you guys done in the past?

Thanks in advance,
Ruby

Im not familiar with just one person being the ONLY bounty.

Usually everyone is a bounty and if you bust someone from the tournament then you get said amount for bounty.
If you bust 4 people and win the tournament then you would collect 5 bountys.
Bounty price is up to you. Hope this helps

I say give everyone a bounty for X dollars towards the fundraising. Then 50% of the bounties are paid back to the winners of those bounties.

So a $10 cost per person, and for each bounty they get, they earn $5.

A local casino does an annual bounty tourney around the holidays where three "celebrities" (local fire chief, regional poker champ, and a local radio DJ....) have super bounties on their heads. I think the bounties for regular entrants is $20 and the "celebrity" bounties are $200.

That's kinda what I was thinking. The tickets are the prize for knocking the bounty out. The cash goes towards the charity.

The tickets are the prize for knocking the bounty out. The cash goes towards the charity.

In that case, make the bounty hunter 'charge' $5 per person (non-optional), with the tickets going to the person who knocks out last year's winner. Charity gets all the cash.
