Here’s all the SCOOP 2024 info so far, including the full 2024 schedule…

---

SCOOP 2024 runs from 5-29 May 2024

SCOOP 2024 is going to be a big one. Quite simply it’s a series you never want to miss.

And today is all about the SCOOP schedule — all 128 events of it — now available to view.

SCOOP will cover all the bases of tournament poker. Multiple poker variants, tournament formats, and three tiers of buy-ins for every event.

No matter your bankroll, experience level, or specialities, there are events for you. Buy-ins start at $2.20.

Below you can get to the good stuff yourself, but here’s the overview.

Let’s start with the biggest number: $75M Guaranteed across the series.

What does that break down into?

In total some 128 tournaments. Each with three versions to suit low, medium and high buy-ins, and a trophy for every single winner. Just as you’ve come to expect.

In all you can expect at least $2M Gtd in prize money every day to 27 May.

But that’s nothing like the whole story.

Within that there are some notable landmarks to chew over. We’ll let you pour over the details, but here are a few highlights.

Starting with the three Main Events in Sunday 26 May.

• $109 Main Event Low ($2M Gtd)
• $1,000 Main Event Medium ($3.5M Gtd)
• $10,000 Main Event High ($5M Gtd)

But there are some other big events to keep in mind in the weeks before.

A $1,050 Sunday High Roller ($1M Gtd) on Sunday 5 May.

Two $1,050 Super Tuesdays on 7 May and 21 May with $500K Gtd.

Three $215 Thursday Thrills each with $600K Gtd.

PLUS, for the first time ever, Mystery Bounty Events. They’ll be 12 in total, with prize pools ranging from $150K Gtd to $500K Gtd and buy-ins starting at $3.30.

And to make playing even easier you can now convert Silver or Gold Passes into SCOOP ticket bundles. Even more reason to get playing Power Path for free every day.

$350K IN ADDED VALUE

PokerStars has announced there are now $350,000 worth of SCOOP 2024 tickets up for grabs via satellites, Fast Track, and Power Path, giving you an even greater chance of playing without breaking the bank.

Remember: every day you play on PokerStars you’ll receive a free $0.50 Power Path Step 1 ticket. These can be used to begin your journey towards big prizes – from $109 Bronze Passes that can be used for $109 buy-in events, to Silver and even Gold Passes that can be redeemed for SCOOP bundles. 

Here’s how you can play your way into a SCOOP 2024 Main Event for less:

• Direct satellites are running from as little as $0.55
• The Fast Track qualification route has buy-ins from $2.20
• Special edition Spin & Go’s, ($0.75, $4 & $20) will also award Main Event entries
• Power Path – Silver and Gold Power Passes can be redeemed for SCOOP bundles

INTRODUCING THE SCOOP LEAGUE

It’s boom or bust as Team Pros draft their rosters for the inaugural SCOOP League

This could get ugly but, wow, is it going to be fun to rail. 

PokerStars is launching the inaugural SCOOP league in which Team Pros Lex Veldhuis, Benjamin Spragg, Fintan Hand and Parker Talbot will act as team captains, drafting a 30-pick squad for SCOOP.

The 30 picks consist of two aces from the pool of Team Pros, as well as eight poker pros of their choosing. They’ll also get to select 20 hot prospects from their stream communities (yep – it could be you!) and each pick will get a $215 SCOOP ticket to take a shot on one of poker’s biggest stages. 

We say it could get ugly because the captains can then trade players to improve their squads, before locking in their teams and heading into the SCOOP 2024 battle.

Here’s how you can get involved.

For one, if you’re a member of any of their communities, you might end up being selected to participate. If so, you’ll get your free $215 ticket. 

But there’s more than just bragging rights on the line for Veldhuis, Spragg, Hand and Talbot. They’re trying to win for the entire communities.

Once the captains have picked their teams, players can pledge their allegiance to their favourite streamer (or just the one who you think has the best team). You’ll do this by:

• Entering the Starcode: SCOOPLeague into the PokerStars Lobby
• You’ll then receive a ticket to one of four freerolls – one for each ambassador
• You can only register for one of their freerolls, so choose wisely

When the league is finished, the freeroll of the winning captain will take place and there are big prizes to be won (the other three freerolls will be cancelled).

The freeroll winner will receive a full package to the UKIPT / ESPT Malaga event in June. Plus, there will be lots of Power Path and UKIPT satellite tickets up for grabs in consolation prizes.

So, who will boom and who will bust?

LEADER BOARDS – $100K IN PRIZES

As if the series needed any more excitement, SCOOP Leader Boards always provide some added drama. Very often, the battle for the top spot on each table goes right down to the wire, keeping us glued to the results until the final few events.

It’s sure to be another thrilling race this year as PokerStars is putting up $100,000 in Leader Board prizes for the Low/Medium/High boards, as well as the overall Player of the Series. This year’s champions will also take home a highly coveted SCOOP trophy!

Last year it was “Fal1st” of Thailand who won the Overall Player of the Series Leader Board — as well as the Low Leader Board — winning $25,000 and $5,000, respectively.

Please Note: players in Germany, Sweden and Belgium are ineligible for Leader Board prizes due to regional regulations.
