If a sponsor wants to sponsor a duel between two particular languages and on a particular question, then they should post the duel and state that 2 champions are needed and that the winner will receive the bounty from the sponsor. If a sponsor want to sponsor a particular champion, they should discuss it in chat and then both comment on the duel. | |

| May 17, 2017 at 6:11 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @Mego (cc Christopher) my point isn't whether it makes sense to give some or all of the bounty to the sponsor, but that it's borderline abuse of the rep system. Bounties should be given to valuable answers that are worth drawing attention to, not to users. It's fine if someone wants to sponsor someone else with the bounty because it doesn't matter whose rep is given, but they shouldn't expect to get rep in return without being responsible for writing the answer that earned the bounty. If you're not comfortable putting your rep on the line without a chance to earn some, don't sponsor someone. | |

| May 16, 2017 at 21:53 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | Actually they probably can't split it. The site-enforced rules about how bounties work are quite complicated but amounts are fixed and bountying the same question more than once requires the second bounty to be for more than the first bounty unless the first one was already the maximum 500. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 20:28 | comment | added | user63187 | @MartinEnder they could split it. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 17:14 | comment | added | user45941 | @MartinEnder Sure, but logically you'd expect the sponsor to get the rep since they put up the bounty if their duelist loses. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 17:14 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @Mego it doesn't really make sense for the sponsor to get the rep since bounties are given for answers not for users. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 16:05 | comment | added | NonlinearFruit | As it stands right now, you don't challenge specific users. When a challenger posts a duel, any champion is able to accept it. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 16:05 | comment | added | user63187 | @Mego yeah sounds good | |
| May 16, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | user45941 | If the sponsored user wins, does the sponsor or the duelist get the rep? I guess that's something that the sponsor and duelist would decide. | |

| May 16, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | user63187 | @NonlinearFruit I was thinking a user challenges another user but the challenged user cannot put the rep forward. A kind user steps up and tells the challenged user that they will supply the rep if they lose | |
| May 16, 2017 at 16:00 | comment | added | NonlinearFruit | Could you elaborate on how this would work? A sponsor would post a challenge and wait for 2 champions to step forward? | |
