Hey Christian - we had the same feeling once we published the schedule, and in a rare move we have changed the side event schedule. It will be published on the site later today but I can tell you that there's now a 2-Day $2,300 + $200 NL Hold'em Second Chance that starts at 11am on Monday May 8th. As with any Playground event with a buy-in of over $500, there are 6 levels of late reg).
As usual we'll have structure PDFs for all events up asap (but probably in a week or 2 at the outside).
The full structure sheets for both the partypoker Million North America and the Grand Prix Canada (which itself has a $500K GTD) are already published and almost every question asked here is answered either in there or on the FAQ we published.
Visit here to get all this great info:
https://www.playgroundpoker.ca/millionnorthamerica
And from there you can easily navigate to info about Spring Classic side events and the Grand Prix Canada event as well.
One thing - if you're able to play on non-NJ partypoker (i.e., you play outside of the US), there are Online Phase 1s 3 times a week and the first 100 players to survive a Phase 1 online will get their US$410/C$550 buy-in back. At last check there were 72 bonuses (out of the 100 to start) that are still left to be claimed.
We're also publishing full Phase 1 results from both live and online Phase 1s there - so far, there are 49 stacks qualified for Day 1.
With respect to the question about re-entry - there are 2 Online Day 1s and 2 Live Day 1s, and each one allows an entry and a re-entry. You can enter or re-enter just by buying in and getting your million-chip starting stack - or you can use accumulated Phase 1 stacks to get in. For Live Day 1s, you can use Phase 1 stacks you booked online or live, for Online Day 1s, only Online Phase 1s count.
So this post is approaching novel-length but the concept is actually pretty simple once you get your head around it.
