    What will be running in the 8.30pm slot during this period? Will the Jackpot still be applicable?

    (yes, I have seen the mini ukops thread)
    (and yes, I am impressed) ;)

    As far as I am aware, the Mini will continue to run during Main UKOPS, same time as usual, 8.30pm.

    The Jackpot will continue as normal, too.

    As we seem to have a good structured format of buy ins, nearly all £22, £55 or £110, on all the days, can we please have sats that allow you to win entry to any of them of the same value?

    it will be a great festival.

    one small thing...

    the points awarded could be tweaked.  there is an unnecessary multiple of the lowest. everything can be divided by 5.

    better thing is to award 1 point for a cash and 10 points for a win.

    tt is the same, but simple.

    Satellites to UKOPS are now starting to populate the Lobby.

    The first UKOPS Semi Final is THIS SUNDAY, costs £24, & the Target Event is the £40,000 Guaranteed UKOPS Main Event on November 6th. 

    Here's the     LOBBY

    the points awarded could be tweaked. There is an unnecessary multiple of the lowest. Everything can be divided by 5. the consequence is that the points are 5 times greater than they need to be. Climbing the leaderboard is seemingly daunting and will not aid motivation. Calculation is also unnecessarily complicated. best is to award 1 point for a cash and 10 points for a win. It is the same, but simplified.

    I'm not sure this matters that much, I'm sure Poker Players can apply a factor of 5 easily enough.

    I prefer a more complex, but fairer model, to be honest. One using a nice balance of buy in, number of runners and finishing position. (achieved using a Log formula as other sites do for their TLB comps)

    Should someone get the same points for winning a 60 runner MTT as someone who wins a 500 runner MTT? I would suggest not.

    However, lets not be too critical here, this is a FANTASTIC STEP in the right direction.

    Well done SKY!

    Might be a silly question but in the past UKOPS events there were buy ins 3.30/5.50/11 etc. How come this has changed? Just the buy ins 22 upwards out of my bankroll, but thank you.

    In before you ask, part 937.

    First up, there is now a UKOPS Tab in the Lobby. It just has a selection of UKOPS XVII Events in so far, mainly the Main Events, but it will gradually populate in the coming weeks.
     
    To find Satellites in that Lobby, don't forget to UNTICK that little checkbox at the bottom of the lobby. ("Hide Sats").
     
    Even easier, to find the one you are looking for, click "BUY IN" & it will put everything in order of Entry Fee, lowest to highest or vice versa. If it is the wrong way round, click it again......

    All the Satellites to UKOPS are in there, & they will also appear in the Satellite Lobby.

    I'm very glad to see UKOPS return, the leaderboard is a welcome addition.

    The PLO has been my favourite event, hopefully will get a few more players trying it with the leaderboard points on offer. Will you be giving 4 cards a try StayorGo?

    Great work sky, very impressed with new tournament schedule and UKOPS is the icing on the cake.

    i am contemplating running a live UKOPS leaderboard for the final day.

    i have done it before for previous UKOPS. 

    the live leaderboard is a display of standings updated every 20 minutes through sunday evening.  up until i go to bed, that is.  it shows where you are if all games were to finish there and then.  a projected result.

    Nice series and leaderboard addition;  Also like the mini UKOPS running after.

    I have one question borne out of curiosity.  Why are there 4 people pre-registered for UKOPS 10 the high roller?

    If I recall correctly, UKOPS High Roller Seats were added to the £1.000 Daily (weekday) Rewards Freeroll this week Solly.
