The idea is very similar to WCOOP, with the difference being that there are 13 different series running worldwide, one for each region of the World. Each series includes 11 events, all with guaranteed prize pools the total being $7,000,000. The 13 tournaments are the following:
- Russian Open Championship Of Online Poker
- Nordic Championship Of Online Poker
- Baltics Championship Of Online Poker
- USA Championship Of Online Poker
- Canadian Championship Of Online Poker
- Germanics Championship Of Online Poker
- Asia Pacific Championship Of Online Poker
- Mediterranean Championship Of Online Poker
- UK & Ireland Championship Of Online Poker
- Central and Eastern European Championship of Online Poker
- Latin American Championship Of Online Poker
- Iberian Championship Of Online Poker
- Benelux Championship Of Online Poker
PokerStars declares that the main aim with the organization of RCOOP is to give players the chance to compete exclusively against players from the same region. This means that all the satellites and schedules are tailor-made to one specific area of the World, making it possible for players to chat in their own native language for example.
The hosts of the events will be PokerStars' local pros, they will also participate. The buy-ins vary, you will be able to buy into the events from as little as $11 to as much as $530 (in the US), and much cheaper via satellites.
Go ahead and find your regional site on RCOOP page, qualify yourself to your very own local tournament and win your country some pride, and yourself some cash of course!
