Here's to a great series full of variety!
Cheers, Veemer.
NL 2-7 PKO is actually a really good idea imo - i barely play any NLH online mtts so maybe i dont have PKO fatigue, but i was also thinking last night that PLO is another format pretty nicely suited to PKO - one of the main structural problems with PLO mtts is that ICM and PLO pf equities are a match made in hell, and it seems like bounties go some way towards alleviating that issue?
SCOOP suggestions
-on subject of mtt formats, HUPLO total KO and NLO WTB fromm prev COOPs really didnt work (the first required strategic adjustments that were fun to figure out and experiment with for like half an hour and was then just annoying, the second was just ridiculous). if you want to try something out, why not give PLO w/antes a shot? on subject of a format that did work (at least imo) 3-max (poss zoom) from one of last yrs COOPs was a bunch of fun.
-seems like most yrs first schedule draft deletes NL 2-7 and then it eventually gets put in after feedback, this time around maybe just skip that stage and have it in from the start?
-no idea if possible to code, but big bet mix would be awesome.
-facility to play to the $ (at least like an extra lvl) on d1s if its within a certain range (like if less than x% of remaining players at scheduled EOD need to bust). also, keep the length of d1s under control in general (HR series has imo done some amount better there, shooting for somewhere around the 7hr mark, plenty long enough).
-for non NL events with smaller number of mtts on regular weekly schedule, run them around those weekly events. ie, for PLO, weekly 500s run tues/thurs/sun, so should be some amount of bias towards those days when scheduling PLO COOP events.
