Which posts made you assume this? I don't think I've seen anyone suggest that all MTT satellites are restricted to those who haven't won a seat. I've discussed the policy in this thread and am happy to answer questions regarding it.
- All WCOOP Event satellites will be must-play.
- Players can play as many Spin & Go/Sit & Go satellites as they like.
- MTT satellites to the High Rollers and $5,200 Main Event will be restricted to players who haven't won a seat.

-If I win my first seat in a sng, it's a must-play, but if I continue playing sng's afterwards and win another seat in those sng's, it'd be credited as T$5200?
-If I win a seat through a sng, it's a must-play, and there's no point in playing MTT satellites thereafter as I wouldn't be given T$ (or the client would prevent me from registering for the MTT in the first place since I'm already registered for the target tournament).
All 3 of those are correct, right?
It'll probably result in me holding off on sng satellites until a few days before the event, but I can see how it makes sense. Appreciate the clarification here.
And I appreciate you asking the questions.
For the Main Event and High Rollers, this is all correct. It would not allow you to register to an MTT satellite if you already have an active registration in the target.

We'll be launching more satellites today. I'm not terribly hot on MTT feeder satellites, but I do think we should offer Sit & Go satellites to the popular pink satellites.

Any chance to have satellites to the mega satellites giving small bankrolls shots to WCOOP high? For example, the 1050 Sunday Million WCOOP on the 3rd has 55$, 109$ and 215$ Mega sats, it would be great to have 5.50/11/27$ Qualifiers to them like turbo or hyper turbo an hour or two before the mega sats?
If I remember well SCOOP had this kind of offering.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
We do plan to have a larger range of available buy-ins for Events. Check the client later today and there will likely be something for these players to join!

Yes, and I'm curious to hear what this group thinks about the policy change!

I like scoop format-satellites that give you 109$ ticket and you use it for a scoop event but it is not good for recs because regulars grind these sats and when they have too many tickets,email support to convert them to hot 109 tickets or TMoney.So it's not optimal too.
I think best solution is still to be able to win 1 ticket for the specific event but if the event hasn't started yet,give us a ticket just for this event so we can be able to register when we feel it's right.
Thanks for the feedback. Tickets and forced registrations both have their upsides and downsides. We've tried different systems now for both SCOOP and WCOOP. Simply put, the feedback seems to be that players don't mind satellites being must-play or restricted to non-qualifiers, but each system is a bit inconvenient. We're going to take this feedback and see if we can find a future solution.

I won't really be playing any satellites if it forces me to play 7+ hours just to get through the bubble. It would also be better if satellite would not instaregister me to target event even if it has already started.
Thanks for the feedback.

I like it, just want confirmation...
Of ALL the Sunday Kickoffs, Warmups, Millions, Super Tuesdays and Thursday Thrills, only 2 allows one re-entry and it's the half price ST and TT week 1.
Right?
PS. Why are ST and TT on week 2 three-days but not the week 3 versions?
The amount of re-entry is nearly identical year-on-year, but the distribution may have changed. I've always preferred to allow re-entry in the non-NLHE games. There's plenty of NLHE to play during our *COOPs.
As for the middle Super Tuesday/Thursday Thrill, these tournaments always take an extraordinary amount of time. For the $530 versions, we simply have a bit of a faster structure since we anticipate big crowds. The $2,100 buy-ins will have smaller fields and thus won't last as long despite using the same structure as the $1,050 versions.
