Would like to see the ability to activate the PrizeBonus as an optional feature.

For instance, when setting the Multiply Bonus to "min" and having the optional capability to not apply the set Prize Bonus until Late Registration has been completed.

or setting the Multiply Bonus to "yes" and having the optional capability to not apply the set Prize Bonus until X amount of players register.

Side benefit, if a system crash happens during registration or before X players register, then the Prize Pool would not be overly inflated.

Also discourages temptation of early tournament collusion between a small set of players in order to simply chop a large overlay.

The "min" setting makes the Prize Bonus a guaranteed minimum, meaning it won't be used at all if the prizepool reaches that amount on it's own, which should include the late reg period. Note that the late reg period ends early if prizes start getting paid.

The idea would be that there is an option to not implement the guaranteed minimum until after the late registration period was completed even IF the prizes started getting paid.

In other words, allow the late reg (and rebuy) period to continue until the prizepool changes, which won't until after the guarantee is met. I see the point but that's a coding complication I'm not likely to implement anytime soon. If payouts are happening before the late reg period has ended then either your payout structure is too spread out and/or your late reg period is too long.
