I'm assuming this has been addressed somewhere else in the forum, but I haven't been able to find it.

I read that it was your intent to award a bounty in a multi-way pot to the player in the worse position regardless of stack size.

Is there some reason that a bounty is not chopped between 2 players that both have the eliminated player covered in chips?

Stack size is only used as a tie breaker when multiple players are eliminated and the larger size gets the higher place. Stack size is not relevant in a bounty award. Currently a bounty is treated like a ticket award that can't be split and thus position is used as the tie breaker. Mainly that was done out of code simplicity just to get the feature launched. I may add a split option in the future, if there's a demand for it.

Just to clarify something, the bounty now goes to the player that won the relevant pot (not the main pot as originally coded) so the knocked out player was covered by the bounty winner. Only in that sense does stack size matter.

Understood, thanks

Just for clarification, what I meant by stack sizes was this

Player 1 had 3000 chips and was eliminated in the hand.
Player 2 had 5000 chips.
Player 3 had 2500 chips.

Only player 2 would be rewarded the Bounty for Player 1.

Player 1 had 3000 chips and was eliminated in the hand.
Player 2 had 5000 chips.
Player 3 had 7000 chips.

Player 2 and 3 would chop the Bounty for Player 1 evenly.

The winner of Player 1's highest side pot (if he had chips in a side pot) wins the bounty. That is the "relevant pot". If that pot was split, the player in worst position wins the bounty.

I understood your breakdown, I just meant IF/WHEN you decide to implement a SPLIT pot feature.

Yes, if a split option was enabled in the future, it would evenly split the bounty among the relevant pot winners.
