bounty n In children's games, a prescribed place.
   C 67-1 [In pitching coppers] a hole was dug in the ground and a place chosen about ten feet from it called a bounty. We took turns pitching and nicking the coppers with our thumb. M 70-25 [In frozen tag] one person (maybe two) would be the freezer. The others would try to prevent the freezer from touching them. There were two bounties which would, maybe, be poles.
