(TK)Awarding half a win for a bye makes perfect sense to me too.

(NTK) +1 and seems fair and I like it and have suggested it in the past.

Other modifications to consider:

(TK) 1. Cut players based on their rank rather than on their number of losses. E.g., after three rounds, only the top 75% of players remain each round after that. (If there is a tie for last spot, all the tied players remain.)

(NTK) -1. Just as normal eliminate the players who have too many losses to win a prize.

(TK) 2. Truncate matches that go longer than a preset time. Use a match equity table to determine the fraction of a win each player gets for the truncated match. This prevents long matches from holding up the tournament.

(NTK) -1. Unless the loser of the match will be eliminated, the tardy match can be finished later. Clocking every match from the start should eliminate some of this issue although it won't prevent it occasionally.
