edited October 2014 in Poker Chat

The full details will be on the Promo Page, & in the Lobby, in the next half an hour or so.

Satellites start TONIGHT into...

The High Roller

The Main Event

Fingers crossed, there'll be some Freeroll news you'll like, too. 

I'll do all the spiel in the morning, but for now, if you have questions, chirps, or anything UKOPS related, you are on the right thread.

Off we goooooooooooooooooooo

    Great to see a "PL Omaha Hi FO"  on the 2 Nov!!  #justsaying  ;-)

    Are all satellites intended to operate according to the usual sky rules. ie 1 in x wins a seat and the overlay if any goes to the seat bubbler. Or is there some unexpected change that means we have to read the small print.

    The change for the Punta Cana final sat wasn't in any small print.  It was writ large right at the top of the promo page and was from the start of the promo!


    It's amazing the number of people who have complained about this after the final when all they needed to do was check the promotion page and if they didn't like it, complain BEFORE the final not after it

    Think I get your drift there Gelders.

    I would assume it would be the "usual" Sky Poker rules, but I'm going to ask the question, just to be sure.

    I'll confirm later.

    EDIT - have now sent an e-Mail asking for clarification. I would expect a reply this morning.

    Hi Geldy,

    I believe that was an error/typo & it SHOULD have said......

    "...on Day 1". 

    It will be rectified this morning, I've sent a note Upstairs making them aware.

    Thanks for pointing it out.

    There will be 5 Events each night except the opening night when there will be 6.

    The five events are......

    Micro

    Mini

    Main

    Challenger

    Sidey

    On the opening night, the 6th Event will be the High Roller.

    So, 41 events in all.

    Which gives me the opportunity to mention the fabulius Highway 41 in the USA, & show one of it's wonderful interchanges. Can't beat a really neat interchange, eh?

    Each night will include a Rebuy Event, & on Tuesday & Wednesday there will be TWO Rebuy Events.
     
    In each case, unlimited Rebuys when equal or below starting stack for the first x (varies) minutes, so you may take, if you wish, an immediate Rebuy.
     
    When the Rebuy period closes, there will be a DOUBLE STACK add-on available.
     
    Rebuys & Add-Ons will NOT incur a reg fee, only the initial buy-in has a reg fee.
