Terms and Conditions
4. To have the chance of winning a Sky Poker UK Poker Championships Main Event seat you can qualify either via satellites or by direct buy-in at the event venue, Dusk Till Dawn.
5. We are not offering player's the opportunity to buy in directly to the event via the poker lobby, using funds from their account. This is until further notice.
7. You may enter the Tournaments as many times as you wish however you may only win a maximum of one (1) Sky Poker UKPC Main Event seat.
what happens if someone qualifies twice? would they be awarded the cash equivalent? or would they need to play only for cash places?
no immediate plans, they are on hold, but not gone for ever.
the idea of a couple of community events a year, around the UKPC dates, is still one that appeals, certainly
It is probable that the February UKPC festival will start the previous weekend with an affordable low buy in Mini, too.
Will pop the full schedule up when i get it
i was in DTD a couple off weeks ago and theres posters up advertising the ukpc with the main as above and the min £125
6 players have now got their seats to play the UKPC Main Event in February, well done them.
The next Final will be on Sunday, SIX seats are guaranteed, & 4 players are in that already.
Yikes!
I'm afraid I have no idea why that is, & I'm struggling to even guess what the reason may be.
I've sent a polite note upstairs to see if they can shed some light on it.
If I get a reply, I'll let you know.
Gordon (& others).
I had a reply within 60 seconds.
The UKPC Satellites for today will appear, as if by a miracle, very shortly.
Apologies.
You had better win one now, right?

happy to answer any questions
you can find details of the DTD satellites at http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/sky-poker-uk-poker-championships/2456
same for both events
I agree - obviously! - & it so nearly did have an Omaha jobbie, it was in the provisional schedule, but there was just not quite enough room & time to squeeze it in, more especially as it is always a struggle to get numbers for PLO Events. Shame really.
I'm utterly convinced that eventually, one day, probably long after I'm gone, Omaha & it's variants will be the game of choice, it has so many subtleties & nuances, & is a real thinking game, full of surprises.
Would have been great to see you there, too.
Have to say, we spent absolutely ages trying to balance the schedule, there must have been 50 different draft schedules. It's quite a thing to get these Festival schedules "just so".
