S-Points: Vegas Summer Tournament Structure Analysis
Every year I update my site with structure data from all the Vegas summer poker tournament series and calculate S-Points
PLOG - MGM STRUCTURES ARE FINALLY OUT https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q0JY4U_NL0cgWfpbcKsMnzPI71W-hoJ8
The structure sheet for event 6 has misprint on flight’s days !! I am surprised how big corp like MGM management didn’t catch proof reading mistake! 1 C is printed twice and missing 1E.

Only WSOP has released theirs so far -- so bug everyone else to get theirs out. When they do, post a link to them in this thread so I can incorporate them.

Thanks RealMcCoy. I have WSOP loaded and am 75% the way through Venetian. Those are usually the two most time consuming ones. Hopefully, I should have my site switched over by Thursday.
PLOG are you surprised this or last year way more summer tourneys are way lower buyins than years in the past? what do you make of it?
the pleasure - I don't really notice tournaments until I dive into processing the structure data--so I haven't really paid attention yet. Last year the well structured sub $300 tournaments were all at MGM. I do run a comparison of all NLH tournaments from current year to prior:

Right now it compares 2025 to 2024, but when I get all the data I will updated it to compare 2026 to 2025

We are still missing structures for
ARIA
GOLDEN NUGGET
ORLEANS
SOUTH POINT
Some detail can be picked up via Atlas Poker but at least I am drawing a blank for organized structure sheets for these 4 SERIES. Trying to hunt these down is the least I can do for you (US) and doesn't compare to the effort you put in for all of our benefits. Your S ratings truly help make informed choices during my WSOP summer trip and I appreciate the heck out of it. I do my own calculations based on your formula but having all of it put together really makes a difference. Thank you so very much for all the work you put into it.

RealMcCoy - fixed the Venetian, but the WSOP is correct:
WSOP #65: [100% Mins] is 780 not 760. Level 16 & 17 & 18 are 60 minutes, not 40 minutes like the first 15 levels.

I'm going to stop posting now until you have a chance to look at these MINOR differences I am calculating - I must be making some basic error as we have never had this many differences in years past. Again thank you so very much for everything you continue to do for us.
WSOP #78 similar to #65, [100% Mins] should be 800, not 760. First 17 levels are 40 minutes, 18 & 19 are 60.
I do appreciate the double checking, so please keep at it. Feel free to keep posting or save them up and bulk send in an email.

Waiting on Nugget and Aria.
It seems the Venetian $800 multi-day ending on June 5 should be 97, not 103, and the $1100 beginning on June 6 should be 103, not 28.
Black Aces -
Fixed Venetian $1100 (#37).
Venetian $800 (#36) has 4 day 1's. I think A & C are correct at 103, they're 100% Minutes are both 760. B & D, I did do wrong and are now 77, they're 100% Minutes is 570. Please double check this to make sure though.

Best deal of the summer for those who want cheap and deep seems to be Warriors event at WSOP from June 21-23.
$500. 108 s-points. Same blind structure as Colossus but lower vig at 10% vs 17% for Colossus.
Only 1 entry flight. Need to be prepared to grind 14.5 hours on day 1 and 12 hours on the following day to make it to the final day.

Salute to Warrior is a solid format to be sure .... BUT when considering the Vig realize that in ADDITION to the 10% $40 of each entry will be donated to the United Service Organizations and other veteran organizations.
So what is actually going to the prize pool is $500-50-40 or $410 or an effective 18% VIG . Still it is an excellent cause and a great S Rating for a $500 buyin
yeah for a 500$ buy in it still seems insane buy in still!!
agree that and monster are great value it seems for play
I assume the Stud/Draw games are coming soon, or am I using the site wrong?
