Thanks for providing feedback. We'll take a look to see how two weeks performed compared to three and determine if it will be a permanent change.
As for the $215s, I do see a few that were too low (with hindsight being 20/20): 16-L, 21-M, 33-M, 35-M, 45-M, 51-M, and 57-M. For about half of these, the guarantees were set as such because there were no reasonable comparison tournaments. For the others (most notably 35-M and 57-M), I'll take a closer look to see what happened when setting the guarantees.
Lastly, for what you're saying about World Championship vs. Spring Championship - changing WCOOP to two weeks was meant to be a step toward making it stand out more compared to SCOOP. This is because the buy-ins were skewed higher in WCOOP compared to SCOOP so as to make it a bit more exclusive in some respects, though I guess if high-stakes players had their way, the buy-ins would keep getting higher...

Cmon, add some 75/109$ and 215$ hypers, everyone is going to try those, if you can spend over a thousand dollars for a hyper sng, you can definitely just directly buy-in. You do not listen to/understand players!
Thanks for the suggestion, agree that we could have had something additional in those final 40 minutes.

when was the last one 530 with 12 min lvl?
The $215s ran on: 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 September
The $530s ran on: 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15 September
All the $530s ran at 15:35 ET, with the exception of the one on the 15th, which ran at 12:35 ET.

There are some events that didnt run this time i think like the 2-7 or badugi.
Those coudl run in 3 weeks and i rly wouldnt mind if some events were recurrying 2-3 times like the standard NLHE/PKOs. not every event has to be super special. just give us 3 weeks with great structures and not-broken payouts pls.
2-7 ran, but you're right that a couple games were left out. I think the problem with having days without any NLHE is that the non-NLHE Events on those days would really suffer. People just need to learn to take a day off when it suits them!

Thanks, I am relieved that it is (almost) over. We did a handful of things differently, so I'm excited to pore through the results and determine what to do for SCOOP!

Will follow up on this - seems like that is the best time to run satellites to this tournament due to its start time. Maybe instead of adding, we'll just move the existing ones forward a bit.

For example look at the WCOOP-61: 109 NLH Prog KO
As far as I can see only one(!) sat that is not a turbo has a buyin of 1-to-10 or better (mtt number 2408590505)
And it starts 7h30 before the actual event (11h30 CET to 19h CET)? This is way to early. They are now on the bubble, so the sat will only take 2h30 to reach the tickets. You can pop in a few of those during the day, even 5 to 3 hours before the event.
The other 23 sat that are in the lobby do not meet the criteria of at least 1-in-10 AND normal speed.
So just 1 in 24 sats is a 'good' sat.
Do you see what I mean?
I do see what you mean. We'll make a couple adjustments to the structure to make it more suitable for 1-in-10 satellites. Any other comments on it?

Going to follow up on this as well. They were increased during WCOOP at mid and high-stakes, but should not have gone to Barcelona levels yesterday.

Surely the Low High Roller just becomes another event for the Medium players, and the Medium event just becomes another event at the High price point?
Of course the higher buy-ins will mean some Low players don’t participate, but it’s aspirational and fun to participate in a ‘high roller’ event and that label will lead some Low players to make this the event they save up for / satellite into.

If we kept doing this, there would be no last Event!

Keep fighting the micro-stakes fight. The focus has been on high-stakes over the past month, but we'll make sure we put some attention on the lower stakes as well.

I think we should have as much variety as possible while realizing that people like 1-in-20 satellites just as much as 1-in-10, and so on.

For all the PLO players 3 weeks of great PLO mtts every other day would be great. It absolutely doesn't has to be special. Something like
25$/215$/2100$ as regular price (Tuesday)
5$+R/55$+R/550$+R (Thursday)
109$/1050$/10000$ Highroller (Saturday) and repeat
making highroller 215$/2100$/25000$ just makes middle stakes player play the low and hs player play m as pointed out. Insted better to make some 4th level for super high roller in between (like 4th level w 25k buy-in once)
Thanks for the feedback, fellow Omaha fan.

It would be called Bounty Builder Series!
