    Will there be sats for the side events? Any additional PLO/PLO8 tourney is great and might introduce more casual players to Omaha.

    Nice idea that one, Smitalos. All I am going to say is that there are *some* discussions going on around the whole coverage of the UKOPS Xmas. That's all I can really say at the moment. ;)

    When will the sats for the other events start. The last UKOPS was a blinding festival due to the massive participation. If the sats don't start soon then most players won't have time to get themselves in. I played many sats last time and have yet to play a single one so far. If Sky are expecting more direct buy-ins than last time I'd be highly sceptical. Please start the sats soon so we can get the buzz going. I haven't heard anyone talking about this UKOPS anywhere near as much as the first. Lets hope it all goes well and the tourneys break the guarantees, but lets get it all firing soon. Best wishes.

    Hey Shaun,

    We should be getting satellites for the other UKOPS events pretty shortly. This week would be my hunch. Not cast in stone, etc...

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hi Dave and merry xmax and a happy new yrear to all the guys and gals at sky.

    When the last Ukops was running sky ran a game for £12 in which the winning won a place into the main event and the next 5 runner ups won tickets into other UKOPS events. It would seem that the numbers entered at present are not encurraging.

    The current sats are expensive and the odds poor.

    Would it be possible to have some more games at £12 with a simular garantee. There would be over 100 players for sure just like before and boost numbers and interest in this series of the UKOPS events.

    The TSP classic regularly pulled numbers of 150 + every night and so did the UKOPS event that replaced it.

    if this was to happen there woukld be far more tickets to play for.

    Its just a thought all the best.

    The main UKOPS page should show the winners in the next 10 minutes or so :) If you still see the tournament line up in the carousel at the bottom, try pressing Control and F5.

    Cheers!
