    Yes, they are all 6 handed and as Hursty pointed out regarding H4H above, that should not be a problem I would imagine!

    I reckon this series looks awesome and shows how far Sky Poker has come and long may it continue!

    Ok, missed the show but would like to know the ins and outs of this please. Is it just for the high BR players who can just choose if THEY want to play or not or is it really open to all?? I fully appreciate Sky Poker introducing new schemes but feel, yet again, that this promotion is geared towards the high rollers. I know, and expect, a load of negative response to this post, but as a prominent campaigner for the smaller BR player, I would like to know if this is really 'across the board' for ALL players or just another cunningly disguised thank you from Sky Poker to all their 'bigger' players?

    Hi Guys - just to reassure everyone, we will be running satellites to these events to suit all pockets. There will also be some added extras which we will give the details on soon. Tikay will naturally claim all the ideas were his! Thanks Sky Poker Team

      hi all

      i agree great promotion for all players old and new to the site

      with the sats i think all bankrolls have been thought off

      very exciting time ahead for all

      just a question

      why have 2 tournies november the 5th

      poss one of the biggest nights out of the year

      and with the lower buy in of one off them its open to all

      just a thought i know its to late to change but maybe could be tweaked around such a big night out for families

      thanks for the great promotion

     There is no way on this planet I could afford this. If you really want to be all inclusive you should have a mini and even micro versions.

    You could then have a play-off between the winners of each thread to see if the mini players could take on the big guys.

    n Response to UKOPS - The Thread:
    Good morning! Last night, Sky Poker announced it's inaugural "United Kingdom Online Poker Series", to be known as "UKOPS". A series of Online Poker Tourneys, it takes place between Monday October 31st & Sunday November 6th, 2011, immediately after SPT Leg One. Buy-ins range from £22 to £530, Clocks from 5 mins to 15 mins, starting chips from 3,000 to 10,000, with a total Guarantee Value of £140,000. It includes NLH Freezeouts, Turbo Rebuys, DoubleStacks, an Omaha Rebuy, a High-Roller, & a Main Event. A satellite schedule will be announced very shortly.  Any questions, fire away, & someone from Sky Poker will field them if I am not around. The Thread will also be used to keep abreast of who qualifies in the Daily Super Satellites, registered runners for each Event, & this, that, & even the other. In other words, all things UKOPS related. I'll be offline now until Sunday evening or even Monday, but any questions, stick them on this Thread please. Thanks!

    great for everyone.  brilliant.

    one suggestion might be to offer the winners of each game an invite to a UKOPS Cash Game.

    Sounds great and I'm looking forward to it. I might buy into 1 or 2 direct but will have to satelite for the majority.

    Love the idea of the leaderboard, as soon as it was announced I thought the same!

    Don't think the "Mini UKOPS" will work, like others have said, the high roller event would still be £50 with most events £20. There are mini opens and mini rollers, I think this would be best left as it is.

    theres no point in a mini UKOPS imo it will affect numbers for the main. which sky cant afford to happen with the guarantees. if its a success and the numbers are there they would probably look at it for the future.

    ^^^ this

    plus there are going to be tonnes of satellites for every one of the UKOPS events so i do not really see the problem as people are still going to be able to satellite in for a small amount compared to actual buy ins

    even if there was a mini ukops people will still not be happy that the £530 buy in is £53 etc

    i don't have the bankroll to buy in direct to every event but i will still be attemptin satellites for every tournament as then you are basically playing the tournament as if it is a 'micro tournament' as you are in for such a little amount
