The Spring Championship of Online Poker is one of the most important stretches of the year for online tournament players. It is also one of the most demanding. Long schedules, tough fields, and constant decision making reward preparation far more than hope. And that is exactly where Run It Once Training’s SCOOP Camp comes in.
Designed as a focused two-week warm-up ahead of SCOOP, Run It Once SCOOP Camp gives tournament players the tools, structure, and accountability they need to show up confident and ready to perform at their best when the series runs, from March 1-25.
What Is Run It Once SCOOP Camp?
SCOOP Camp is a free, two-week preparation program open to anyone with (or who registers for) a Run It Once account. Even players with Basic account access can take part in the camp, access curated training content, join live events, and participate in community challenges and giveaways.
The idea is simple: Prepare smarter, study with purpose, and head into SCOOP with your fundamentals sharp and your mindset dialed in.
Live Training With Elite Coaches
One of the highlights of SCOOP Camp is the live training schedule, featuring sessions from two of the most respected tournament players in the game.
You’ll have access to live coaching sessions with Brian Hastings (at 12pm Eastern on February 18th) and Jeremy Ausmus (4pm Eastern on February 27th), both focused on tournament preparation and the realities of grinding a major online series. These sessions are built to help you optimize your routines, manage playing volume, and make better decisions when it matters most.
In addition, SCOOP Camp will feature a Q&A Headline event with poker legend Gus Hansen (exact date and time TBA).
Free SCOOP Prep Playlists
Run It Once has also curated dedicated SCOOP preparation video playlists pulled directly from its extensive training library. The first seven videos of each playlist are completely free, making it easy for you to jump in and start studying immediately.
These playlists are designed to target key tournament concepts that come up repeatedly during large online series, helping you refresh your knowledge and sharpen your instincts before the action begins.
Quests, Community Events, and Giveaways
SCOOP Camp is not just about passive learning through watching videos. It is also about actively staying engaged and accountable.
Throughout the two weeks, Run It Once will be running special Camp Quests that encourage you to not just study, but also participate. Completing quests unlocks perks and entries into giveaways worth a total of $3,500.
SCOOP Camp will also include live community events, including a poker knowledge quiz with $100 in prizes. These events add a fun, social element to the camp while giving you another reason to stay focused during your preparation.

While SCOOP Camp itself is free, Run It Once is also offering significant incentives for players who want to dive deeper and study more seriously during this two-week period.
