Abstract: 
This paper analyzes an all-pay auction where the winner is determined according to the sum of the bid and a handicap endowed to all players. The bidding strategy in equilibrium is then explicitly derived as a 'piecewise affine transformation' of the equilibrium strategy in an all-pay auction without handicaps. The paper also discusses the allocation rule implemented in the equilibrium and provides a comparison of revenue.
