add even more micro buyin satellites. i'm thinking a "ONE SEAT GUARANTEED!!!" $1r to the main event, baby.

actually a micro bracelet event wouldn't be bad. Give it the same structure that a regular sunday mil has, maybe even quicker, and have like a 25$ 300k bracelet event so that low stakes players can get a taste of WCOOP.

Actually, this has been discussed. It was decided not to go with it during WCOOP itself, but I won't be surprised to see something like it down the road.

All the best,

k, my suggestions

structure is great for the nl/pl tourneys, though the rebuy structure is a little bit too much imo. id suggest removing the first 2 blind levels for rebuys and have them start at 25/50 with the same stack sizes.

limit tourneys need some work imo. have the starting limits higher in relation to starting stacks and add more levels throughout the tourney. as it is, first hour is basically meaningless unless you run super hot or super cold, and then late in the tourney everyone has like 5-10 big bets.

make the larger events 2 days... mainly the sunday NLHE tourneys.

add turbo sats to the 2nd chance events.

more 6 max events, change at least one of the LHE/PLO events to 6 max. 6 max nlhe rebuy would also be nice.

Maybe give some guarantees that aren't, you know, 1/2 to 1/3 of what the total prizepool ends up being?

I believe this is something Stars should look at all over the site not just the WCOOP (obviously not suggesting theyre all out of wack, some are just way off tho)

1. More 6max NLHE.
2. Less of the crappy games. 5 card draw, stud games, O8
3. Start the tournaments 2 hours later. This might mess up the euros but having the tournaments during the work day screws the US players.
4. Same structure, but make most of the tournaments 2 days long.

This doesn't make any sense... it's the World Championship of Online Poker, you can't play it live...

sunday nlhe events must be 2 days. 24+ hour events are not good.

how many of the fnal table particiapnts of these 24+ events are the same players who started the tournament?
