WCOOP 2007 - Planning - Your feedback requested!

To summarize: Please take the numbers of the players on each table and decrease them as much as you're willing to... provided the number ends up being 3 or bigger.

Only one six max tournament is a crime.

Make all the events at 4:30. 3:00 is too early [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Being in Europe, I like 15:00 start. Good-looking schedule. Have you thought about a warm-up and/or second chance tournament every day ? I'm sure those would be very popular.

I like the newer seperate round satellite structure for the Sunday million. I think by providing "step" qualifying levels like the one for the Million will encourage more people to play.

For example...

For a $215 event you could use the 4.40 rebuy turbos into $55 round twos, which can satellite people into the bigger events.

For a $530 event you could do something like:

$8.80 rebuy into $110 round two OR

$15+1 freezeout into a $105 round two

For the people with bankrolls in the low to micro level, I think providing satellites with multiple steps are more attractive and would make more people play them, and thus, increase the prize pools in the main events.

We had Second Chance events for most WCOOP events last year. I have little doubt we'll do the same this year.

Thanks for the comment on the schedule! We believe we've got a great variety of events and that all of our players can find something to enjoy.

All the best,

Bryan,

what time are these events going to start? Usually with late starts and long structures/large fields they finish prohibitively late unless you live on the west coast... can all events start at 2 or 3 eastern this year?

Specific suggestions:

6 max nlh
bring back the 1k triple shootout!!!
mixed tournies like wsop - ie. fl/nl holdem, s8/o8

Hi there, Illini43!

I couldn't agree more. There actually were quite a few of the satellite types you describe for WCOOP 2006. I can't imagine not including them for WCOOP 2007. Thanks for posting... indeed, thanks to everyone so far! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Bryan,

Is this sched set in stone? I really think a shootout and a couple more 6max anything tourneys would REALLY improve the schedule.
