A progressive knockout, or PKO, is a bounty tournament in which eliminating a player pays part of their bounty and adds another part to your own. Your bounty can grow throughout the event. The split is often equal, but the tournament rules set the proportions.
Example of Progressive Knockout:
Under a 50/50 split, you eliminate a player carrying a $40 bounty. You receive $20 immediately, and $20 is added to the bounty on your head.
