I have no idea what your thought process was in previous years, but this year the satellite offering is just great. The reg speed Mega sats are nuts (u should introduce them to the Bigs in the weekly schedule too).
Too less 27$ Sats to 215$ SCOOPs though.

There will be a Mega, Deadline, and Last Chance sat. I need to check how satellites performed for the $10K PLO during last year's WCOOP before deciding if any more satellites will be offered. Either way, they will hit the client tomorrow.

Additional Phases were added at all levels last week. It is unlikely that the Low and Medium schedules are further altered.

We've adjusted start times for many High Phase 1s. In addition to this, we've made MTT satellites to this Event must-play.

It is entirely possible it is due to it being Zoom. I'll ask around and see if I can find an explanation.

Thanks for this useful feedback. Hadn't though about Friday night being the first available day for a lot of players.

Main Event sats for the week have been posted, though the deployment may be altered.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it on to those responsible for promotional communications.

Do you have an example of what you think is missing?

Actually, it was the other way around.

Five minutes before the tournament was scheduled to start, I changed the start time to 13:45. After I changed the start time, I updated the tournament script to allow a minimum of eight players, reduced the number of players making day two by four, and created a new pay table line for 8-15 players. Once I completed those three updates, I redeployed the tournament again.

The system closed registration automatically with one minute to go. I believe this happens whenever it is in a certain range of a power of two, but I need to check with our developers. It is possible that this also occurred in Event 20-M.

I wasn't responsible for satellites in any of the previous *COOPs. Much of what we're doing in SCOOP is similar to the weekly schedule - formats players like with as few one seat guarantees as possible.

Good luck this week, everyone!

esta semana me los pelo confirmado!

Blame Jason Cook for the incorrect information!

my table has been paused...... what's happenening? Can we get a message or something?

edit: ok they sent a message

fs now i've dc'ed too...

You OK???

unable to login!!!

What a shame. Hope you guys put another events or a big satelite to the main event w a lot of tickets added, like ACR did last month.

Are you ****ing kidding me cancelling the tournaments today? I had a huge stack in limit he and all I get is your **** payout and no chance to actually win? WTF? What the hell is going on? This is not ok.

Hey everyone,

The connection issues have now been resolved and we're in the process of readying the site to resume tournaments. Sadly, this outage resulted in the cancellation of many tournaments, including some SCOOP Events. Events where most players were present were resumed. Players who did not return will be refunded on a case-by-case basis. Other Events were rolled forward in accordance with our cancellation policy, which you can read here.

Events 30-H, 31-L, 31-M, 31-H, 32-M, and 32-H were resumed.

Events 32-L, 33, 34, and 35 were rolled forward.

Any players currently seated in paused tournaments can leave. These will be rolled forward.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Edited.

My apologies to the almighty jcook. Turns out he said none of what I attributed to him, I misunderstood what he told me, and I was the one who was wrong.

They will be resolved when everyone gets their fair share back.

What happened? The servers went down?

Why are you not able to unregister from SCOOP H Main as a Qualifier in order to late Reg the Event?

If you have to play from the beginning, that's very unfair, compared to everyone else who can register whenever he wants. Please change that...

So that you are forced to use your ticket, it's been discussed and known.

Than make a message that it expires if you don't use it for this event once u unregister and I'm totally fine with it.

But that sucks...

Even now there is just written that the ticket is non-refundable, non-transferable but not that you are forced to play from the beginning...

100% KO today... Hopefully it overlays which may contribute to the end of this awful format.

Hey everyone,

A couple updates:

• The rescheduled SCOOP Events are now in the client. The structures are the same in terms of total play, but we've increased the length of Day 1 for Events 33 and 34 to accommodate the many players who likely have travel plans for Wednesday. If players make Day 2, the Event will be deeper than it would have been with the original timings. Event 35 was already a one day Event and has not been altered.
• Player of the Series points have been updated. Cancelled Events will not award points; the rescheduled Events will. SCOOP-32-L is an exception. 31 players received an inaccurate amount of points due to the roll forward, while the other 809 players in the money received the correct points. We do not think this will influence the Player of the Series race, but if it does, we'll find an equitable solution for all players involved.

Also, I'd like to point you to the blog written by our Director of Poker Innovation & Operations discussing the service outage on Monday. You can find it here.

I'd be happy to provide you with a ticket instead, but I will set the expiry to 23:59 on May 21st. If you do not use it, you will not be credited T$. If you wish to do this, please email Support and ask them to forward your query on to me.

Can you please reply to this too?

Hey Luke,
What about that tournament with guaranteed tickets to the main H. Can't find it in the lobby yet. Are there any news?

Isildur1 strikes again?

When's the freeroll for people who were affected by d/c issues? thanks

PokerStars: "Unfortunately, at this time we do not have further information regarding this freeroll, but please note that all players will be notified via email about it and it is planned to start from 14:00 ET on Thursday, May 18.

We can confirm that at this time the freeroll is not available on our client yet.

Will the tables be redrawn on day 2 of a scoop?

Im pretty sure they are yes
