The next UKOPS Festival on Sky Poker is now in the Tournament Lobby.

It has it's own Filter - just go to the Tourney Lobbby, then click "UKOPS".

    Great to see UKOPS coming around again and now with more choice and something for everyone!

    One question....

    On some days side events have bigger buy-ins than the respective main?

    How's that work, or is it a deliberate mistake?

    Looks like a good week of poker. Looking forward to trying to sat in to the £550 buy in, it should definately attract a few of the bigger Mtt players who dont often play on here.
    I hope as the site progresses the UKOPS can add a few PLO and PLO hi/lo tourneys in the schedule.

    OK thanks Jonjo,I can see the logic there.

    Just my simple brain thinks, main = big buy in, side = medium buy in, mini = mini buy in!

    No complaint from me that it is different than my simple but flawed logic.
     
    Hopefully there will be sats to both main and side events.

    Hi Darty,

    Yes, what Jonjo said.

    They are sort of "Second Chance" affairs, they start an hour AFTER the Main, so some might choose to play both, others just play the Sidey if they bust the Main, others just the sidey, etc.

    The Guarantees are very different though - much more for the Mains.

    The Jackpot will continue to run as normal during the UKOPS Fessie.

    Unless it goes in the interim, in which case it reverts to £5,000, it will be close to £9,000 by the time UKOPS arrives.

    It will apply, each UKOPS evening, to.....

    The MAIN UKOPS Event

    The MINI UKOPS Event

    What would go really well with this is like an 'order of merit' or something along those lines. A leaderboard with amount of cashes/prize money or something for each of the 3 buy in levels... Prize money may not work however as chances are whoever wins the main / super roller will win the whole thing, but it's worth looking into IMO

    The Satellites Lobby is being populated by the UKOPS Satellites now.
     
    The very first one will be at 3pm TODAY.

    You can see the Satellites EITHER via the UKOPS Filter, OR the Satellite Filter.

    Today's satellite schedule is now up.

    Each day's satellite schedule will be uploaded that morning, not before.

    The daily satellites will correspond with the UKOPS event for THAT day.

    Today, for example, Satellites are for UKOPS4, because it takes place on a Wednesday, & today is Wednesday. And so on, ad infinitum.

    Nightly semi-finals will generally be at 8.45pm.
     
    Micros will run every afternoon at 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 7pm & 7.45pm. 

    In addition, there will be one very special daily Super-Satellite, as follows..... (see next Post)

    Looks good.. one thing i would say is the chip value for the add ons is way out of proportion with the buy in. 

    Eg. £55 rebuy, 2,000 chips.. 8,000 chip add on for £55. 

    This is really detremental to the value of the initial 2k chips you get andwill discourage rebuys. 

    Anyone agree / disagree with that.

    Possibly, but look at it another way.

    What will the average stack & Blinds be by the time the Add-On becomes applicable?

    If we use UKOPS6 as an example, (Turbo speedo quickie jobbie jobbie) the Add-On becomes available at the end of Level 7. Play will resume with Blinds at 200-400. Nobody is going to buy a 2,000 chip Add-on that consists of 5 Bigs.
