With only a month to go before the PokerStars 2016 World Championship of Online Poker, tournament organizers have posted a tentative schedule of events and announced the debut of a micro-stakes companion series which will run alongside the yearly festival for the first time ever.

WCOOP, now in its 15th year, kicks off on Sunday, September 4 and will feature a total of 82 events, culminating with the $1.5 million Guaranteed Main Event on September 25.

The Series boasts a wide array of games and tournament structures, including less common variants like Five Card Draw, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, Eight Game Mix, Badugi, Razz and HORSE. On average, three events run each weekday, with weekends offering players the choice of four or five.

Buy-ins start at $109 and rise to $10,000 for the Eight Game Championship and No Limit Hold’em High Roller event. High stakes players can look forward to an even bigger tournament on September 18, with the $102,000 buy-in Super High Roller event.

Introducing the Mini-WCOOP

What’s most intriguing about the WCOOP announcement is the revelation that PokerStars is running a Mini-WCOOP for players who don’t have the bankroll to participate in the main series. Mini-WCOOP events run at the same exact time as regular events, but will slash buy-ins by 1/100th or 1/1,000th of the tournaments they mirror.

Very few satellites will be offered for Mini-WCOOP events, but with tournament entries starting at just $1.10, anyone interested in participating should be able to do so. Those who can’t afford the $5,000 WCOOP Main Event buy-in will have the chance to play in its miniature version for a modest $50.

PokerStars official Bryan Slick noted that the schedule was still being finalized, so events could be subject to change.

“We’re up to Version 4 of this year’s WCOOP schedule, and we’re quite excited about what we’re in the process of building, and I hope that you will be similarly excited,” he said. “I’m looking forward to your feedback and thank you in advance for any and all constructive discussions to come.”

Last year’s WCOOP offered 70 tournaments and paid out more than $66 million to winners. A total of 1,995 players bought into the Main Event and battled for share of the $10 million prize pool. The final four players struck a deal which saw three players earn a seven-figure payday. Belgian-based player ‘Coenaldinho7’ bested the tough field and walked away with a $1.3 million check and the 2015 WCOOP Main Event title.
