Of course with 27 left the levels will be 5 mins longer, but still, this could be divvied up more nicely between day 1 and 2. Also not sure how others feel about this, but I'm happier to play at 5am when I'm playing for 50k than when I'm playing to make it to day 2 with no significant payouts. With the 1k it was kind of necessary as day 2 lasted until 6am as well, but the 55 is a lot faster (even though it's 3.5x the field size, the level times dictate run length much more).
On a related note, I think the structures are nearly flawless but the 70/140 and 175/350 levels are a bit much and are much less important than their 700/1400 and 7k/14k etc counterparts. If those lead to 10 hour day 1s then that's not worth it imo. Though maybe that's a byproduct of the current online mtt meta of allowing infinite late reg.
Just to follow up on this since it has been awhile, we've been reducing Day 1 length in many Events and making some minor alterations to structures. We wrote all new structures for WCOOP (and plan to use them for the foreseeable future), so I consider these updates minor growing pains. Thanks for all the feedback guys.

So, please make shorter day 1's for evening tournaments. For euro players, this means it shouldn't go beyond 5-6AM CET. I wouldn't have a problem if the Sunday Kick-off day 1 would last longer, as people will be playing the WU / SM anyway, so that could be a candidate for a longer day 1. Although this might screw people from Asia / Australia, I guess.
Feeling better about Day 1 length since this post? Agreed that earlier time slots should play a bit longer on Day 1 as well.

Yes, these are both unpopular formats for recreational players. The Draw satellite only attracted the exact number of players required to generate one seat.

A random extra COOP event and you butchered it so hard. It doesn't even run. Thats a different kind of special

Not saying my brain hasn't melted, but the reasoning for this is pretty simple: we receive requests for higher stakes tournaments all the time. Some players communicated that they felt WCOOP was too small, so we added an additional Event and also these Side Events. There is no guarantee and we're not shining a light on them because we don't want to divert any money from WCOOP, but they're there in case players want to battle.

They used to show before and not having them just makes the whole replay almost pointless, considering how big of a part those take in the decision making process
They used to show on the table before? Or in the main lobby?

Suggestion regarding satellites : Party used to have a system where if you won a ticket for a specific tournament the next seats you win will be credited in T$ no matter if you are or not registered to the tournament with that first ticket.
This would help not playing from the start and receiving T$ too.
We're kicking around some ideas to make satellites more flexible. The issue with a ticket is that it doesn't guarantee that it will be used in the intended tournament. In this case, it isn't feasible for us to create a unique ticket for each tournament and we want to ensure that money generated in satellites to an Event goes to that Event, so I'm not sure this is the ideal solution.

Again, growing pains with the structure. We'll be analysing results once the Series concludes. In the meantime, we're adjusting some Day 1 lengths on the fly.

Ignore the pio solving wizards who want everything super high. They are such a small % of the player base.
Half price for the Million/Storm/Super Tuesday/Thursday Thrill have all performed extremely well. There is clearly something to this, but we don't have any plans right now to make a change. What do you think would be most successful if it was permanently Half Price?

Sit and go sats are just dominated by russians ):
We haven't been offering any Splash satellites to WCOOP Events. So far, results have been positive and this is the second complaint that has made its way to me.

between 12.00 and 00.00 cet there are no such tournies .
We'll be reviewing the main schedule offering in the near future. When the time comes, we'll look back in the thread and collate feedback as one way of guiding our thinking for the changes.

All WCOOP tickets added to chests this month are added value on top of the normal rewards.

Yep, this was intentionally set to be a one day tournament, but lasted slightly longer than expected due to its big turnout. Event 80 has the same structure and has been changed to be a two day tournament.

This has been requested many times. It will be added to the regular schedule soon, but I don't have specific details to share yet. Glad you like it!

Thanks for letting me know about Spin & Go Max. I'll chase this up, but it is not something we can change overnight.

We gave bigger add-ons in the WCOOP rebuy Events because players were forced to play much longer rebuy periods than usual. This made it feel like more of a reward. I'm not sure the same logic applies to hyper-turbo rebuys.

Sorry, no guarantee on it. Typically if it starts, it will have three players for a long time, depending on who they are. There is a real possibility the tournament could end naturally during this period. Besides, we do not want to shine a light on a high stakes tournament that isn't technically part of WCOOP.

so if recs prefer larger starting stacks, its the obvious play
Honestly surprised how contentious of a topic this is! The bolded is how I feel about it. If players 'feel' like 100K chips is a big stack in tournaments with a 5K starting stack, they'll feel the same way about 1M in the future. It will just take some time to adjust. Glad to see most of you prefer it, because it took quite a bit of time to make 50K/25K starting stack structures for all of the games.
