thanks for adding T500 to the 44r scoop sat

as well as T500

+1 Requested this be4 , seems like a real simple/obvious change. Going from t800 to t1200 is brutal, gonna drop them till this is fixed

still no sats to the saturday majors (6max, turbo). at least put the usual 3hypers for each during the hour beforehand

No reason we can't add a few such satellites. Thanks for this, will try to get some in before next week!

Could you add some more 2x/3x sats to the $109's that run at 11pm est and 1am est. A few of these would make me want to play other nightly tournaments to my keep screen filled.

all dese new s500 sattys :O tytyty

And there is T500 & T1000 in this new one

but the rest remains the same, need to fix it !!

#1217615682 1k+FPP sat to the ST
still never running!
makes me mad to see this one again and again, while its never running.
reduce min to 9 and make it 2k+ fpp or delete it .

it was a good idea to make it 2 sats (2x 4$3 x, 55+ 1x) at the same time, prob by mistake but both had similar player numbers, so maybe you bring it back again.

7.50 re-entry satellites to scoop claim to be deep but only 1500 starting chips ? fix structure or dont call them deep

It just spreads the recs out and makes them both tougher fields. 2nd time this has happened but it's just an accident so I doubt they'll start running them like this.

it was def an accident and not sustainable

+1.
looks like a mistake setting up the structure/stacks since i suppose these replace the same deep turbos that run for the SM weekly.

Bryan, is it time to retire the 500-chip hypers from MTTs and change them to 3k starting stacks? The 3ks don't run that much longer and you have a lower chance of the satellite ending before the target tournament starts.

Also, if you want to advertise a "deep" hyper, you can simply use the 10k starting stack that you've had during the COOPs.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I am not suggesting that the 2x 500 chip shootouts or 6-max SNGs be changed to 3k starting chips, it would only be the MTT hyper satellites.

Please could you add in a $74 hyper-sat 6max SNG to the Sunday Million SE SCOOP #03 M? Right now there is only 1 x $74 to the Warm Up, which is much less popular than the Sunday Million.

bryan why aren't there 4$R/A 3x sats to the Thrill is beyond my comprehension, when you have them for the Super Tuesday ! !
if you are afraid of people unregging after winning a ticket just add 3 sats within the last hour and a half so they will be must play.

last time i post in this thread regarding this issue.

How about we change the Tuesday 3xers to 7.50 instead

Hello,

I will just interrupt Bryan's regular programming to answer this one. For SCOOP, we are aiming to have one, and only one 6-Max Hyper Sit & Gos for each target buyin running at any given time. The exception to this, is when two similar targets run in the same 24 hour period. In such a situation, we will always start the 6-Max Hypers for a specific tournament 24 hours before the target starts, regardless of whether or not there are already 6-Max Hypers running at the same buyin.

In this specific case, the SCOOP-02-M (Sunday Warm-Up) starts two and a half hours before SCOOP-03-M (Sunday Million), which means that until Saturday at 14:30 ET, the only $74 6 Max Hypers will be for the Warm-Up. At the mentioned time, the same SNG for the Sunday Million will start, and run in parallel with the Warm-Up SNG's until the Warm-Up starts at 11am ET on Sunday.

Another factor is, as you mention, that the Sunday Million is more popular than the Sunday Warm-Up. However, I see this as a good reason for the Sunday Warm-Up to benefit from exposure in form of 6-max Hypers without competition from the Million, particularly since the Warm-Up has a higher guarantee during SCOOP than it would otherwise have.

A final point is that we have looked at the numbers, and seats won in the 6-Max Hypers more than 24 hours before the target starts are almost never used to play in the target (the stickyness is less than 5%). Once the start time of the target approaches, however, this number goes up significantly. Because of this, it makes little sense to have more than the bare minimum of 6-Max Hypers deployed far ahead of the targets start times.

On a final note, four hours before the target, there will be additional lobbies available for the 6-Max Hypers, and there will also be 6-Max Hyper FPP Sats for most events, starting five hours before the target.

Thanks,
Baard

Currency conversion margin on Aussie Millions satellites is absurdly high, 9000 USD per 10600 AUD seat, >6.7% margin.

Run them in AUD, obviously the functionality is there and you dont even have to offer deposits/withdrawals in AUD. Just make people convert to/from one of the 4 other currencies at a fair rate set daily. Such a simple solution for all satellites to tournaments in other currencies.

A colleague of mine who works on the Aussie Millions satellites read this post and asked me to reply to it in order to clear this up a bit. In this case, the rate is set high to protect against exchange rate variations, and players will receive any extra in their accounts at the time of Aussie Millions. From the winner email:

“The exact package breakup will be set on October 1st 2015 and the AUD$10,600 main event entry is guaranteed regardless of movement in the exchange rate. Any balance after allocation of the main event entry at that time will be deposited as cash to your PokerStars account.”

As per the sats to the Aussie Millions I can't fathom why there are daily value added sats for only Australians. The Aussie Millions should be viewed as an international stop so therefore why would this restriction be put in place?
The more runners the better and considering the state of the tour as a whole, barriers to entry points shouldn't be even considered.

x3 fpp sats to target events for scoop please
