Yes, the rumours were true, Mini UKOPS returns, running for 10 straight days, May 1st to May 10th inclusive.

There's the usual mix, mainly Bounty Hunters of course but also MegaStack, PLO & PLO8.

Buy-ins range from £2.20 to £11.

It all culminates in a £10,000 Guaranteed Mini Main on May 10th, it has an £11 buy-in for which there will be satellites available at £2.40.

All the details are

HERE



Oh, & to pre-empt the inevitable question - no, there will not be a Leaderboard.

If you plan to get involved, enjoy, but please be sensible with your bankroll. You know it makes sense, but it's so easy to get carried away.

    Please note that the Final Table Jackpot will run as normal during Mini UKOPS.

    The Mini UKOPS "Main" is 8.30 every night, & it couples with the regular 8pm Main for the Final Table Jackpot.

    Is anybody interested in some kind of side bet, but for charity? Say a points and profit leaderboard like the big boys do in the normal UKOPs?

    I'm thinking 20 quid all in. £10 from each player going to the charity of the profit winners choice and £10 from each player going to the charity of the points winners choice.

    Anybody interested? I have no idea how how the points system works or how to do a spreadsheet but that is something we could sort if there is enough interest. Ideally 5-8 players or it would become a bit of a nightmare to keep track of.

    Just a bit of fun whilst raising a couple of quid for good causes.

    If there there is enough interest then, we will cap it at the first 8 to say they are in, otherwise it would be too much to sort out.

    @miniman88 @chrisdonkb if it's not too much trouble could you explain the points system

    From an old ukops post.

    Rank & Leaderboard Points;


    1st 10
    2nd 8
    3rd 6
    4th 5
    5th 4
    6th 3
    7th-10th 2
    All other cashes 1

    I don't think you need to cap it. Can find out how the others did it but could just have a spreadsheet players can access and you have to trust people put in their data correctly (need to trust them with rebuys/re entries anyway) and get someone to sense check it.

    Just have list of events and people enter what they spent, what they cashed for and where they finished and points earned. 5 games a night so wont take long.

    I'd be happy to take care of a Google Sheet for this and give either all participants or some trusted administrators access. Giving everyone access makes me nervous though.

    Thanks Matt.

    Yeah that makes sense. I'll start a separate thread in a bit with a cut off date of 30th to register then.

    In the meantime, if whoever runs/ran the main UKOPS could let me know how they went about it then that would be much appreciated.

    Cheers.

    I was suggesting all participants have access to reduce admin burden on someone doing it all. Not suggesting everyone on forum has access. Just need admin person to update on forum so people can sweat it!

    If you're happy to do this @NOSTRI we could pm you our results each night or something. Only if it's no trouble, I'm sure I could figure out how to do a spreadsheet if you would rather not.

    If its all forum regulars/well known Sky guys I wouldn't have any trust issues with any of them having access to the google sheet. It would save a tonnn of admin if everyone was able to just enter their own scores and points

    Especially with it being for Charity. You would have to be pretty low to give false results just for the sake of bragging rights. Or is there some kind of cyber threat risk too?

    What’s a spread sheet?

    Right I'll start a seperate thread now. Register your interest on there.

    The idea I had was to set up a Google form to allow participants to submit their results each night, and then I would be happy to manage the rest alone and produce fairly easily a spreadsheet of results and point allocations that anyone can view (and audit for accuracy).

    But if everyone would prefer to just enter their results into a spreadsheet manually, we can do that instead. The form would just lower the burden of data entry slightly and reduce the risk of errors/breaking the spreadsheet.

    It's a bit like a ledger book only it runs on a computer and can do the sums for you.

    Much quicker than a quill, pen and abacus.
