As per usual, each SCOOP event will consist of three tournaments - a Low buy-in tournament, a Medium buy-in tournament and a High buy-in tournament.

The main event (Event #40), for instance, will have a low buy-in event ($109), a Medium buy-in event ($1,050) and a High buy-in event ($10,300).

The low buy-in main event will have a guarantee of $1 million, the Medium buy-in main event will have a guarantee of $1.5 million and the High buy-in main event will have a guarantee of $2.5 million, with $500,000 going to the winner.
