    Was just looking at a couple of the tournaments in the stars lobby for SCOOP; For the 10k main event it's 30 minute levels and only a 10k starting stack, I would have assumed this would be a 25k starting stack like wcoop ? I really hope the starting stack is changed for all 3 of the ME's as that's pretty ridiculous if it's going to play that shallow at first. Also for the rebuy tournaments I would have thought the addon would be larger, be cool to start getting some comments on these so that some of this gets changed,

    30min blinds is double the mill so u should be able to get a lot of play in this. 25k starting and 30min blinds would take a hell of a long time, but i don't think many would complain.

    10 levels into sunday million blinds 600-1200 ante 100
    10 levels into main event 175-350 antes 45

    should make it feel like more chips

    Wups, definitely didnt' look at the blind structure just assumed. Still think that it should be a 15k stack minimum and starting stacks should differ. We are still only playing a double stacked cash game at first and you should be deeper. But the structure is awesome besides the starting stack,

    I'd prefer a 25K starting stack and 20 minute levels

    I def. agree, they should have AT LEAST 20k starting stacks. I think the deeper they make it the more people will be interested. The fact it's 30 min blind inccreases and 10k starting does make it deep but not deep enough for the main event. I think it should be just the same as the wcoop me.

    15k with same structure seems reasonable to me.

    Don't forget the note that says structures are tentative. They are running test mtts and getting feedback.
