PokerStars releases draft schedule for SCOOP 2015

PokerStars has released the planned schedule for the 2015 Spring Championship of Online Poker, there are going to be three events every day (each with three different buy-in levels) between May 10 - 24 and will culminate in the $10,300 Main Event.

BryanS-PS is a PokerStars [2] Tournament Admin who often posts on the 2+2 forums requesting feedback from the players regarding the planned schedules for the different 'COOP events.

He has also asked for opinions in several scheduling plan and game format questions:

1. We are considering putting a 3-Max tournament in the schedule (and on the regular tournament schedule on PokerStars, of course)... what do you think of this?

2. What are your opinions about a Phase Event within the SCOOP schedule? We haven't included one yet, as we have concerns about one running properly at the -H level, but I'm interested in your thoughts.

3. Generally speaking, do you think that the shootout format is overplayed, underplayed, or played just about right in SCOOP? (currently: 3 Events out of 45)

4. Omaha H/L players: FLO8 is frequently played 10-Max in ring games. Do you believe that this would be a good format for MTT play?

The guarantees and 2-Day Event labels will only be added when the events have been uploaded to the PokerStars client, somewhere betwwen very late March and early April.
