Definitely introduce more events starting early and late. The goal should be to give the championship feel to people around the globe. It's fine that not everybody gets to play every single one

What about recs? They rarely play the whole schedule.
I think it also makes difference for holdem-only grinders and those who play a lot of mixed games -- former ones essentially have more time and opportunities to take a break.

No, thats the point - mentally you can't just skip a day w/ bunch of good events bc you feel you need to, you will still play it (esp if we talk about saturday).
And then all these negative effects accumulate and affect your perfomances in the late stage of Xcoop.

That's why it would have been great to have a legit break (say after 2weeks) where you dont have to choose.

100% agree with you guys about less KO's but why would u possibly want no re-entry on the MAIN EVENT!?

if you are so concerned with maximizing your hourly go play cash, we r here to win big $$$ not $27/game or w/e your take home is on playing way over yer head. you cant grind cash then stick to the big $55 for yor 27/game ill take 2 shots at 500k+ over 1 any day of the week even if the roi is same$ #yolt

Think the shout for no PKOs will fall on deaf ears. Just look at how popular they are

I think PSKOs are fine, as long as there's enough of alternatives. Bringing up larger schedule than before which would also bring up some off-peak tournaments would solve it.

Turbos are okay too, but they would be best suited to be scheduled around the end of peak-time. SCOOP should be series that brings up something for everyone, since it is only series with low/med/high stakes.

Agree, lets all take a break from the series about two weeks after it starts.

Edit:
Sorry for the troll, but the series only last for 15-16 (Day 1 starting) days, so it wouldnt make any sense to have a scheduled break a week (and a half) in.
Its just twice a year that we can go balls out for 2-3 weeks straight and love doing it so why go half ass at it.
Think most players savour the chance to play great tournaments everyday and if you mentally arent able to skip a day then Im sure you can motivate yourself to go all out and enjoy every second of SCOOP while it last for a short period of time.
Think I can speak for most people that we prefer to have the choice to skip a day than have it being decided for us.

P.S.: Id bet if there was a scheduled break youd be playing a day 2 on it and disliking the fact there werent other events planned

As Ive said formula 1 cars need pit stops as well as footballers at WC as well as olympic sportsmen.
Its like to say - hey you have WC once per 4 years how can you not appreciate the chance to play some great football 7 days in a row?
Recovery is a vital part of any kind of sport to keep it competitive and entertaining.

It shouldnt always be marathon and I think the logic should be - the bigger the fest is the higher likelyhood to have breaks should be.
I dont insist but I think its an interesting/good suggestion.

Meh disagree. Your sentiment is based on needing to play every timbey on the schedule which is just not something that the writers of the schedule should have in their mind when writing it but rather making great mtts available to as many players around the world as possible.
Analogy: wsop time in Vegas. 6weeks straight, about 7 major series running concurrently. And they all are a massive success. Despite ppl like you having more than enough chances to take days or weeks off all the time. Having an empty week wouldn't be in any single organizer's or player's interest there either

I would love to see the last event of each day be a quicker structure of some sort - really helps keep the hours/day under control. Whether its a hyper turbo, turbo, semi turbo, variable level bubble rush or whatever....Something a little faster for the last event would be lovely.

C'mon, we all look forward to SCOOP for the great structures that allow lots of play and you want to turn 20-30% of events into crapshoots? Shame on you.

What about players in different timezones that can only comfortably play out the last event, but have their experience ruined cuz the event was made into a fast paced structure.

Either go hard or skip some events so you can rest up a bit here en there, I'm sick of seeing you at the top of every TLB anyways

Would only consider hypers/turbos/BR if they were added to the schedule, but certainly not have existing events speeded up.

Nah T8 I meant 1day rest, not week long break ofc
Live is different ofc, people pay for hotels, organizers have additional expenses as well.

This is easily solved by having the last SCOOP of the day to be a 2 day event which ends earlier than most other day 1's. Have 2/3's of the play of a regular day 1 or something similiar

Would love to see:

A big bet mix like the new WSOP event - Any out of NLH/PLO/PLO8/NL08/NL2-7single draw /PL 2-7 triple draw.

A mixed Omaha hi/lo event like last years zoom

More phase tournaments including a phase Omaha event as well as Omaha Hi/Lo - these both would be HUGE.

A 5 or 10 Stack 6 Max iteration of both Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo events.

A Marathon event!!

A NL 2-7 Single draw psko event. I feel psko works really well with this pure game.

Finally as per previous comment, a 2 day event with a short day 1 as the final SCOOP of the day.
