For several years PokerStars has resisted the temptation to run a major series more frequently than once a year.  This has been a good strategy with their WCOOP series (World Championship of Online Poker) easily becoming the flagship of online series.     However, no doubt motivated by the success of Full Tilt’s more frequent FTOPS, they have decided to introduce a Spring Series called SCOOP.  

 In this series there wil be 22 events, but every single event will run at 3 different levels (low buy-in, medium buy-in, and high buy-in), this effectively makes in a 66 event poker series.    Here is the schedule in full:
