Changes:

Added "Bounty" field to tournaments. Select a portion of the buy-in to be set aside for each knockout bounty. This amount is deducted from the main prize pool and is awarded directly to a player each time they eliminate another player from the tournament. Bounty must be 0 in a rebuy tournament. If a ticket can be used to enter the tournament, the ticket must be required or funded (or both) to have a bounty. When a player is eliminated, the winner of the main pot gets the bounty. If the main pot is split among multiple players, the player who played that hand from the earliest position wins the bounty. In a Hi-Lo game, the winner of the main Hi pot wins the bounty. Bounties are credited immediately to the player's account balance.

Eliminated ties for Knockout Callback bounty. Previously if the main pot was split, the Bounty field would contain a comma separated list of player names. Now it just awards the bounty to the person that played from the earliest position, making it consistent with the new Bounty feature described above. Of course this callback will now be obsolete for most sites anyway with the new bounty feature now implemented.

Added "Next Break" time to table stats page. This also appears on the Total box mouseover (and long-tap) at the top of the tournament table.

Fixed Net chip calculation bug in RingGameLeave callback event. Previously if the player left the table before the hand completed, this field did not update correctly.

Fixed mobile gui bug that only rendered right half of table chat. This bug was introduced in 6.16 with the table resizing fix.

Adjusted console window constraints to prevent statusbar panel overlap. Previously you could size the Windows console so small that the last two panels overwrote each other.

Thank you. I tested and seems to work great.

Oh wow awesome! This will solve some headaches because even with my coded callbacks, I've encountered a few weird situations.
Native will be much nicer.
Thank you Kent!

I don't suppose there's a way to split the bounty between multiple players? I know the first time this happens someone is gonna complain.

Is TourneyKnockout gone completely from all tournaments or just bounty? Or am I reading this wrong altogether?
I currently use this callback as an announcement into other integrations for when someone gets knocked out of a tournament so I hope it's not gone even with the bounty.

I specifically designed it for no splits.

The only change is the Bounty field can only have one name in it going forward. A tie goes to the earliest position player so it's consistent with the built-in feature.

Fair enough.

Just curious as to what the reasoning is behind this?

I was actually just about to go write my edge case for splitting in the rare chance this does happen. I was even going to add in a 3 way split just in case.
I've set up the callback to notify me to do it manually so far but I was gonna automate it.

Does this apply only to games where Bounties are enabled or across all tournaments?

It's was easier to code and I don't have to worry about fractional chips or odd chips that don't divide evenly. The player in earliest position in the hand was at a slight disadvantage so he gets the tie-breaker.

The callback acts the same across across all tournaments.

Kent,

I see there is a new API Ref utility version out, but I don't see the new Bounty field listed in it (or am I overlooking it?).

Just to confirm, the field to reference is simply called "Bounty" is that correct?

Thanks!

I'll get that updated tonight. Also forgot to add that field in the help file.

Carpenter79 was awarded the bounty when rounders should have been.
Carpenter did not have Tronc covered thus should not have been awarded the bounty.


i understand your rules main pot wins the bounty, but anyway to fix this?
