MINI-GAME "BOUNTY HUNTERS" (suggested by GrekHek)
Let’s have even more fun :)
Anyone (even if you don't participate in the tournament) can place a bounty on any participant by stating the name and the reward (Steam key or in-game item) in the tournament's thread on the forum. This reward is collected by the player, who eliminates that target from the tournament. However! If the target remains undefeated (i.e. wins the tournament), he or she will take all the bounties placed on his or her head.
You can place bounties on several players, and even on yourself, but only one bounty per player (though one bounty can contain several items, if you are so generous).
The player with the highest amount of bounties will win a special prize in the category Most Wanted.
