1. There will be a Hyper-Turbo Event in SCOOP sometime after I'm nothing but ash, but not before.
2. A Turbo Event at the end of every day... are you trying to get me killed?
(I can easily see something like a Variable Level Times Event with a 4/6/8/10/12 structure at the end of most days, though...)

Fear not, there is zero chance of all Optional Re-Entry Events being replaced with rebuy Events.

u had your two weeks in january, now let us have ours in may!

For those of us who play pretty much every event for 15 days in a row; having the last event of each day be at least somewhat of a faster structure goes a VERY long way.
Otherwise days can easily end up being 12+hrs; 15 days in a row is way too much like work!
Variable level events will help but others (Turbo, Zoom, 10min levels) would be appreciated as well.
I understand the Turbo series was in January; just looking for a bit of a break to avoid super longs days other then punting.

How about taking one or two days off

So much good stuff here.

Thank you

This.

The more gimmiks and turbos the less likely ill be to travel for 3 weeks to play 75k+ in buy-ins.

Late events reaching day 2 earlier or being variable levels would be great.

might as well use this one for suggestions then, since Bryan's reading them too


pls no 3 phases if possible....just 2 phase would be great, could make the 2nd phase 2 day as well

try not to leave out 2-7 NLSD and AU

Just let this guy run Amaya ffs.

+1 to all of the above about raidalot and his great post
I basically agree with all of it. The only couple of things that I would add:
I'd really like (at least) one tournament of every game. E.g. please have a Badugi, a 2-7 FL TD, a 2-7 NL SD, a FLO8 event etc. Lots of those have been neglected over the past couple of series.
And in general I would just advocate for more mixed events than you'd plan for (as many as poss), as the nlhe guys get their big field mtts for the rest of the year, and a COOP is our only time to get to play some

-100000 to this. Especially with TCOOP having just finished.

Raidalot 100% on point as always


Run mtt sats to generic 2.1k scoop ticket starting immediately

You're a step ahead of others in at least soliciting feedback and you have sometimes made changes, notably in 2015. However, often the attitude has shown an element of reluctance, like when introducing the 2014 draft schedule: More importantly, the frustration from this end (which was reflected in my post, with a degree of tongue-in-cheekiness) is that pretty much every time the overwhelming feedback is the same, i.e. those points I listed, and yet they never get addressed.

SCOOP is the nuts as far as poker series go and will be again this year (as long as you keep multi-stakes!), whether or not you choose to address the players' main points. Though we disagree on what is best, I'm grateful for the effort you and your colleagues put into making SCOOP as awesome as it is.

please reduce psko and sko and add more normal freezeouts or rebuys

+1 to Raidalot, very good suggestions.

This.

+1 to all this.

but yes they did make some good changes to tcoop iirc

ehh scoop has always been about playing a well structured tournament regardless of the buy in. We already have tcoop which is sweet for what it is.

remember when KOs weren't raked? Could just go back to that and it would be fine.

Great post by raidalot! Huge +1 to everything, imo any PSKO in addition to TT is already too much.

Also what I hope would not be missed:
- 4 events every Sunday starting with 1k kickoff first day (2k kickoff on the last day ?) ! This was a huge success in SCOOP 2015 and was not introduced in WCOOP 2015
- relatively smaller % of 9-max tournaments compared to previous years - more 6 & 8-max
- Saturdays could be as big as Sundays

I love bounty tournaments, but as I wrote last year, bounty tournaments corrupt the intentions in Championship events.

What's more important, winning the championship or earning the bounty on that guys head? Often times you are put in really ****ty positions because of the supposed Prestige of the SCOOP. These tournaments will often offer you spots where you must lower your win percentage to raise your profit.

I know you'll have PSKO events, but you really need to consider how important Prestige is to the SCOOP.

+1 to all that DoGGz said.

Even more than the NLHE's, the PLO PSKO's are really unplayable... I even skip the 82$ on Sundays happily, despite prefering PLO over NLHE.

the less PKO's the better for me too

i dont mind couple of PSKO SCOOP Events (NO 75% ones)

raidalot said the most important stuff though. Make sundays huge NL festivals, thats what people want!

inb4 ultraKO main event
