Technical issue/Disconnection
If the disconnection happens due to poor internet connection, the player is not entitled to any refund of the entry fee paid to join the tournament. While playing, the blinds will be deducted till the time the player has a sufficient chip stack available to play. Once the player is out of chips, he will be automatically eliminated from the tournament.
If a technical glitch happens during a tournament, the players are entitled to receive reimbursement of their buy-ins. If it's a re-entry/re-buy tournament, the players will receive a refund of their buy-ins and re-entry/re-buy.
If the technical issue occurs once the tournament has reached In the Money stage, the players will receive a share of the prize pool as per the chip ratio (the amount of chips they have on the table at the time of disconnection).

In a bounty tournament, Bounties are placed on all the participants. A player can earn a bounty amount by knocking his opponents out of the game.
Knockout bounty - In this format, players win a bounty amount for every opponent they eliminate.

For example - if the bounty on every participant's head is 100, you earn 50 by knocking a player out and your own bounty will go up to Rs. 150. If your opponent busts you out, he will get 75 and the other half will add to his bounty.
