Not a nice for me, because I do not drink alcohol at all and I don't want to get a bottle of champagne if I win a tournament.

So what? You always posting your negative comments here. I'm not sure if you troll or just hater. I do not drink alcohol and I have voiced my opinion that this is a bad thing to award players with some alcohol. What is the problem? Why does it bother you? I dunno why my opinions getting annoying "for everyone". It's a forum and we are here to discuss, not to hate.

Peace.

Then just use it to celebrate, spray it around when you get it like formula 1 drivers . That's the whole idea, get something to mark the special win, it's not going to match the prize money anyways, so you can buy yourself whatever with the money then. But this is a trophy, it's part of the win.

All I'm saying is, PS should offer better trophies. Bracelets were perfect.

Whats wrong with that? Hardly good for the field end bosses grinding the satties reducing the amount of legitimate satty qualifiers in the main.

Should be applied to every tournament. Satellite grinders are a cancer on the game.

The problem with player can only win one ticket is this:
Lets imagine that there are 50+ players that want to play 5200 main but think that that mtt that is once a year is big hit to their bankrol/variance plus the think that they dont have bigger roi compared with their standard lower buy mtts grind so they decide that they gona grind for ex 215/109 or w/e sats for lets say like 4-5k value/buy ins and if they bink seat they will play plus the might bink more then one seat and kinda freeroling the main

So now if one player only can win one ticket all this players might just decide
- not to play main at all
- or invest like 2-3k in main and sell rest of action and maybe just play 1-2 or 0 sats

and when all those sats grinders that are "cancer" for the games decide not to grind sats because they can play 10-15 sats and not win ticket (and when they do actualy win ticket it will get more expensive for them then to actually just buy in) the entries i sats will decrease and will also ticket reward in single sat decrease

I think best solution for main event of big series is to wining tickets to be caped at 3 with first seat must play, but as luke said that there is not option on software for that best solution should be first seat must play and other seats can be choped in a 109/215/530 mtt tickets

Won a satty for the kick off Event 1 and I have to play from the start?? Can't even late reg. If there was ever a tourney I wanted to late reg it is that one. Seems pretty ridic to me...

All guaranteed amounts have dropped. This new tactic along with the reentry mtts is all they can do to keep some guarantees that reminding the old days. Now if you win a sat you have to play it, if you win a second sat you will be credited a ticket for another one. I cant forget the 10+1 (3x turbo) sat for 5200. Those days are gone.

Theres a lot of bitching going on in here that is understandable, but complaining about having to play from the start and only being able to win one sat is ridiculous.

Thought in 2017 poker players could maybe see past their own bottom line but nah.

what guarantees have dropped?

is there any list around in simple text form, with guarantees? (and optimally more info)

I'd also hate to play a tourney right from the start if I win a ticket especially for most wcoop events which have late reg period close to 4 hrs which means I'll have to play a lot longgger and also bad players/rec would be forced to play more hands and so their chances of survival till the bubble would be quite less.

Another important feedback which I think 2p2 audience won't agree to it but for the upcoming wcoop events like stud and draw games which normally don't get to see big prizepools in the daily schedule, a lot of players wouldn't actually mind if these events paid 1 place for every 7 players or even 6 players (15-16%) instead of the coop norm which pays 1 place for every 8 players (12%) which I believe is too low for these niche games.

Luke, thanks for taking the time to answer my question, I pretty much guessed it would come down too the fact micro players have already had Mini SCOOP, and Micromillions already this year.

Mini WCOOP for me personally is my favourite event of the year, right mix of games, always play far more that month and usually deposit more as well.

Would it not be better all round to have WCOOP at all three main levels of the game, then players of all ability can experience the fun of a major event at a level they are comfortable paying in and playing at?


To hazard a guess had players been asked what format event they would of preferred Id wager Mini WCOOP would of come out well on top of Micro Millions?

Possibly dumb question about the below section:

Satellites
In SCOOP 2017, we made some changes to satellites, typically awarding satellite winners with tickets. This allowed players to win a satellite, unregister from the target tournament, and re-join with a ticket at any point during late registration. While we like to offer players as much flexibility as possible, this system created operational stress and confusion among players. During the series, we received numerous requests to exchange tickets, and after the series we also received similar requests from players with tickets that couldn't be used anywhere. For this reason, satellites in WCOOP 2017 will be must-play. This means that if you win a satellite to a WCOOP event, you will be required to play from the start (if it hasn't started already). Subsequent wins will be credited in T$. Additionally, a few select events will not allow players to win more than one seat. This information will be available in all satellite tournament lobbies.
In checking the lobby for the $55 daily satellite to the $5200 ME, I see the note that the first seat can't be unregistered and that players aren't able to win more than one seat to the ME.

However, when I look at the $1,780 6 person hyperturbo sng that awards 2 seats, there isn't any messaging on either of those fronts (must-play + only 1 seat allowed). Am I correct to assume that the restrictions that apply to the $55 MTT satellite (and presumably some other MTT satellites) don't apply to any SNG satellites, and that if I were to win multiple $1,780 SNG satellites, after the first one I'd just be awarded T$? Or would the client prevent me from registering from the SNG satellites after I won my first seat?
