  • Patent number: 12705951
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for managing bounty information across players for use in a tournament that makes use of bounties. In the disclosed system, bounty amounts are transferred and aggregated as players are eliminated. A first bounty amount maintained in relation to a first bounty tracking device for an eliminated player is aggregated with a second bounty amount maintained in relation to a second bounty tracking device for an eliminating player to generate a current bounty amount. The current bounty amount is stored in a local memory of the second bounty tracking device. The second bounty tracking device is configured to present an indication of that current bounty amount to an outside observer.
