yeah please leave the warmup alone, no point in that other than annoy us

+1 for not changing the warmup!

Also, a 55/109 prog TKO would be huge! Def needs to be added!

the warm up and million arent turbos already?

lmao

Funny how this series went from having the most excited regs to having almost only negative responses. In just two years

As somebody who only plays on sunday a lot most of these won't entice me to play during a non-sunday either, though I can see how these buyins are good for a big % of the playerbase.

As I suggested last year, 2 or 3 TCOOP levels (but may be with cheaper events at H level) would make everyone happy and def more excited for this series. For instance:

TCOOP L. $27
TCOOP M: $82
TCOOP H: $ 215

or for Main Events

TCOOP L: $55
TCOOP M: $215
TCOOP H: $700

+1

More to play, and something to play for everyone.

The type of splitting you describe is specific to SCOOP, and isn't something which we will be spreading to the other major series.

May we know the reason? Because it looks good to expand it to TCOOP.

Hello again, everyone.

I've just gotten done with a conference call to discuss the feedback provided by everyone (here and elsewhere), and I have some changes I can share with you. The full schedule won't be ready for a while, and likely won't be shared fully until we post it to the client, but for now I can tell you...

1. We've decided not to replace the Sunday Warm-Up with a TCOOP event. The Sunday Warm-Up will run as normal during TCOOP. There will still be a $215 tournament in roughly the same time slot (about an hour earlier, probably), but it won't replace the Sunday Warm-Up.

2. A tournament with Ultra-Deep stacks will run a little later in the day on the same day as originally planned (the aforementioned tournament in point 1 above).

3. The Saturday Speedway will not have a Re-Entry element.

4. We're changing at least one of the rebuy tournaments to a full-ring (9-max) freezeout, and raising the buy-in.

5. We're changing at least one of the 6-Max tournaments to a full-ring (9-max) freezeout.

When the final schedule is released, I'm sure that there will be some frustration that not every point of feedback was addressed with a specific change, but I do want to take this time to thank everyone for providing feedback on the draft schedule. We take feedback from our players very seriously, and use it to help us build the best schedule(s) possible, although it's simply not possible to address every point to make every player happy with every part of any schedule. Thank you for taking the time! I hope that you all enjoy TCOOP 2015.

Nice, thank you bryan.

Haha you guys really think anyone cares this type of splitting is specific to scoop?

Seems like stars is very competent at attracting employees with autistic tendencies.
You guys HIGHLY overestimate the "fame and glory" aspects of the series you run.

Try to generate as big as possible prizepools for all stakes in every series you run should be the main goal.

No one is jerking off on the thought of winning a lousy bracelet anymore.
This is not 2005, its 2014.

grow up

This!

No. All those listed buyins are included in the schedule anyway. Splitting tournies into different levels makes them loose prestige and prizepool. If you had 12-18 Tcoop-events every day during tcoop series it is not special anymore.

Sounds like you need to grow up.

Hi Bryan,

tcoop is best series you have in my opinion. You should run it more often.
Now where everyone is asking for higher stakes turbos you could make more scoop tournies turbos as well.

He wrote grow up at the end of that rant! lmfao

Thanks for tweaking the schedule Bryan.

Of course nobody expects all feedback/opinions to be accepted. imo the frustration arises from the lack of willingness to engage on points which feature heavily in feedback, especially those that are made every year. It would be good to hear why you reject those points.

There also seems to be a general unwillingness to make substantial changes from year to year which is a low risk approach but means the series' become a little bit static/tired. They will always be successful while PS is dominant in the market but that doesn't mean they're the best they can be.

How true.

no chance?

This. You don't have to worry about TCOOP stealing prestige because no one would give a turbo winner prestige anyway besides the recognition of "coinflip winner-of-the-year."

Make the schedule bigger. Add some more events and bigger buy-in events. Right now TCOOP is just a footnote on the overall year-long schedule, you would think amayastars would want to expand tcoop since turbos are more "rec friendly" and fish love them. Stop being so conservative and if you want to grow your company then build this schedule with what could be no-doubt the best rec-friendly tournament series of the year.

gross at moving 6m to fullring

fullring turbos are so 5 years ago

Disagree. SCOOP has the same number of daily tournaments and they are hugely popular. Same could happen w TCOOP.

Well said. Just because a company or a Poker Series is running twice as efficiently as a competitor, doesn't mean it can't be run better.

If a company doesn't fail every so often it's indicative of a company that isn't trying to raise the bar high enough.
