A knockout tournament is a tournament in which a percentage of the prize pool is awarded in bounties. Every player has a bounty on their head, and by knocking out a player you get to keep their bounty. For example, in a $100+20 buy-in Knockout tournament with $20 bounties, you win $20 for each player you eliminate from the tournament, in addition to the normal payout structure.
