One of the largest online tournament series in existence is back! PokerStars has released the schedule for its 2024 iteration of the popular Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP), and, as always, there is plenty to look forward to.
This year’s SCOOP will take up the best portion of the next month, kicking off on May 5 and winding down on May 29. Over that period, players will get to enjoy 128 events, with almost all of them featuring three buy-in orbits: Low, Medium, and High.
There will be a lot of money to play for, as PokerStars is guaranteeing $75,000,000 across the series. Buy-ins start as low as $2.20, so everyone can get involved and enjoy some tournament action this May, making the 2024 SCOOP an MTT series for all players, big and small.
The 2024 SCOOP Schedule Overview
The full schedule for the 2024 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker features 128 events, and, as always, each event comes with three but-in orbits. This makes the series accessible to all players on the site.
Although No Limit Texas Hold’em is the dominant game variation, there are many other poker types featured on the schedule, including PLO, PLO8, Razz, 2-7 Triple Draw, and more.
Every day from May 5 – 27, there will be at least $2,000,000 in guarantees up for grabs in SCOOP events, with action heating up on weekends, as is usually the case.
This year’s SCOOP will also feature a dozen Mystery Bounty tournaments, so all the fans of this new and increasingly popular format will have many opportunities to test their luck and skill throughout the series.
Mystery Bounty events start as low as $3.30, so you don’t have to break the bank to get involved.
There are many other valuable tournaments on the schedule, of course, and you can plan ahead of time as the full schedule is now available on the PokerStars blog.
As always, things will culminate with three Main Events, which get underway on May 26. These three tournaments will feature over $10,000,000 in guaranteed prizes between them.
The 2024 SCOOP Main Event Features Big Money
Like every year, the 2024 SCOOP will feature three Main Events, and all three of them will have their starting day on Sunday, May 26. With three buy-in levels, most players can get involved with at least one of them, while some will probably take seat in all three.
- $109 Main Event Low: $2 million guaranteed
