Nice job on the Phase events - Prize Pools are HUGE

Few other comments:
Stud Hi > NL Draw
A few more 1 day events would be nice especially the Saturday before this amazingly crazy last Sunday.
LB prizes are pretty Meh

The payout structure in Main Event is completly ridiculous
In order to get ITM you need to play like 6h
Buy in is 109$ and min cash is 139$.FFS is 1.27x buy-in.If you rebuy,you wont even get even.What is this?I'm very sure that if stars would have put another payout structure,with at least 200$ for min cash,main event low had 3M guar.
Actually the whole SCOOP was like this

What are those "mulligan events" May 23. ?

tomorrow's 2nd chance freeroll should start earlier, it starts the same time as the targets and it always lasts over 2.5h [late reg time of the #57 events]

watching nanonoko's stream, medium main event has a pretty ridiculous paytable, $50 payjumps at a $1K buyin

The ones that got cancelled during the series because of server outage.

Logged in last night and couldn't believe my eyes when I seen the payouts. Terrible isn't the word. Stop this madness for the love of God! Glad I missed out on this series if this was the case throughout.

Luke. Is there any chance of a midstakes series?
Also please please please make wcoop tiered. Yes it's bryans brain child but there no denying this format is much more successful than a highstakes only series. Thank you for running this scoop.

Feedback:

Phases were a little bit too long. Should end them 1 level sooner imo.

Total ko is a nonsense gimmick mtt. How can you endorse an mtt where second place gets 20k or less and first wins 160k and 13th loses money overall? that isn't in anybody's interest.

Rebuys were meh, more vanilla please.

Zoom 3max pko NEEDS to become a regular thing at the back end of the session.

I loved this series, please gather as much feedback as possible and make wcoop even better.

Thank you

I agree. To differentiate it from SCOOP you could just multiply all the buy-ins by about 10x - and run loadsof satellites at the original price points to give low stakes players a chance to join in.
And get rid of that ridiculous 100% KO format

Making wcoop tiered would indeed be a fantastic present for the wider poker audience. I know it has been talked of for quite some time now and the argument is that it's a different proposition, but players will love it and it can still retain the same high stages tournaments.

Win the button should get more attention in the regular schedule imo, maybe replace zoom as Friday main format and make Fridays much more sexy to play? Probably as a psko also, the Saturday M event went something like close to 3x guarantee. It's great fun to play and a lot of people seem to agree with that

+1 for midstakes series

Making Mini-SCOOP next year would be great. Why not? Mini-WCOOP was so good and attracted a lot of people.

P.S.: Total KO is a garbage.

Players Choice a one-day event? It seems that this will drag on for about the same time a Sunday Million does and is on the day after a lot of players had excruciatingly long sessions on Sunday. Any chance of last minute extending it to play over two days?

Overall a great experience playing this series. Good job! (especially considering it leaves a good feeling despite the outage, which although is something nobody can plan is a huge bummer in the middle of the biggest series of the year)

Shouldn't count the fee as part of the tournament's buy-in. $100 goes into the prizepool so a $139 mincash is 1.39x your buy-in back.

But agree that payouts are ridiculous, mincash should be a std. 2xbuyin.

They reverted dailies back to 2x a while ago, but silently re-reverted back to these mincash jokes!

Agree with others feedback.

Get rid of total KOs, Im a big fan of PSKOs but total KOs are awful.

Add 2 tiers to WCOOP at least mid and high/regular. Or bring back 2nd chance events?

Bring back WCOOP braclets and SCOOP watches (if it's true that you removed them) seriously one of the worst cheap cost cutting decisions by Stars.

Any idea how long will the SCOOP-57-L tourney will last? It seems to be a 1-day tourney and I am thinking of playing it, but I have to go to work tomorrow.

Did the 2nd chance freeroll get cancelled, if not where in the lobby can I find it? I think I blinded out in less than 30minutes.

SCOOP was great, thanks for running it, Luke.
I few things i like to say for the next series:

1- Put the 8 game on a weak Holdem Day, every one loves 8game and want to play it, but will not play if it is on a holdem heavy day or saturday (because the day 2 is on a big sunday )
I would say to go w monday when u also have the 4max/3max ( Both 8game and 4max are good events to 1~2 tabling )


2- Missed the kickoff coop edition last sunday

3- total psko is terrible

4- The mini cash in 50% psko are also terrible, make like in the bounty builders or you can even pay less people ( yeah, i know.. )

5- Not for COOPs, but a 109$ psko turbo 200k at 17ET would CRUSH on sundays, put a blue tag and a fancy name, please make it a regular thing.

Normally this is easy to calculate, but with level times changing at unfixed points it's a bit unclear. If 20k ppl play, it'll have 200M chips so a last level of about 1M/2M. Itm should be around 1.6/3.2k, so 22*10mins + about 23*12mins + about 9*15mins + breaks. 7:30 CET? Something in that neighbourhood.

Why is the host on the FT of the 1k phase encouraging a deal? Showing the numbers even though not everybody has agreed to start a deal negotiation?

Then this:
HostRichardH [Commentator]: Shall i wait with resuming so you can discuss?
Yakiddinme: yes please

If they'd wanted this they could just check the box right?

Maybe hosts are instructed to make the payouts even flatter? Who knows.

That would be unacceptable, however I think the players still in (or the one/two who didn't want a deal) should just say 'no, continue please'.

But maybe seeing the number does make you more likely to discuss..

Hi Luke,
Not sure if you already posted this, but could you let us know how to exchange unused tickets for tickets to lower buy in regular tourneys.
Thanks
