I also prefer this but while it works well for small tournaments, it creates either more work in larger tournaments (as floors have to be moving bounty chips as alternates are seated and players moved from broken tables.
I used to play in one room where the floor came around and stamped the receipt of the player who won a bounty, then when the player was done in the tournament he got paid out based on the number of stamps on the receipt. Again works well for small tournaments but can create issues in larger events.
