Thank you for all the comments. We have a large team looking at the issues that some of you reported last night and they are confident that they can avoid a repeat of this happening. We won't be lowering the guarantees of the remaining Super UKOPS events and can assure you all we are happy with the ability of the platform to handle 1000+ runner tournaments.
We will continue to work on this throughout UKOPS and I will update here with progress. Apologies to those of you who were affected last night here is to a clean bill of health tonight and the remainder of this fantastic series.

Sam,
Concerns were raised when the events were announced and you were happy over the ability of the platform then and are still happy now. For those of us that had issues its hard to know where this confidence comes from. I am sure tonight will be fine but am dreading the next super £11bh.
Whilst it is great to have a load of new accounts what hope do you have of them playing regularly if there only experience of the site is that its laggy/crashes!

Further on from the points in the above post, I would imagine the vast majority of the new accounts were just one tabling this £11BH and didn't suffer any lag problems....whereas it is evident that quite a few multi tablers regs did.

How do we know if players were 1 tabling and did or didnt suffer problems as they are unlikely to use to forum. There seemed to be a fair few players sat out but I have no idea if they decided not to play or couldnt get on due to the software.
As I mentioned we have a team looking into this and they have identified what caused the potential issue at 9.30pm. Work is now underway to prevent this happening again.
The nature of the issue meant that it will only have been seen by some players and it will have affected them whether they were playing the £11BH or not.

Any clue on what the common factor for the players who were affected was?

So are you saying this 'issue' had nothing to do with the 7.30BH and the amount of runners in that one MTT having an adverse effect on the platforms software? If it was just a general issue (which you and others have said didn't affect all), I would imagine it would be easier to fix? I can see why players (including myself) are worried when a 2000+ MTT runs again but it looks like you are stating this wasn't a factor afterall.
The issues that were experienced were certainly intensified as a result of the activity on the site so to say it was nothing to do with the £11 BH would be false.
I can assure everybody however that we are doing our utmost to prevent a recurrence.
I had concerns whenever i seen the gtd that this would happen. Shouldnt this have been tested out in a random freeroll about 3 weeks ago when the schedule was announced to see if everything was going to be ok?
Guess I spoke too soon. Anyone else having issues? Internet my end is ok and other sites are fine, had to log on twice so far, pretty big night to be going wrong.
Lots of people complaining of lag tonight. Thankfully its been fine for me, but i would say roughly 15-20 people in the last hour have complained about lag in the chatbox, Slightly worrying with a huge night of poker, but fingers crossed it all gets sorted.
