This UKOPS will also have a £5,000 Leaderboard, with prizes going down to 50th place.
Deets are HERE
The Jackpot will continue as normal, too.
As we seem to have a good structured format of buy ins, nearly all £22, £55 or £110, on all the days, can we please have sats that allow you to win entry to any of them of the same value?
it will be a great festival.
the points awarded could be tweaked. there is an unnecessary multiple of the lowest. everything can be divided by 5.
tt is the same, but simple.
Satellites to UKOPS are now starting to populate the Lobby.
The first UKOPS Semi Final is THIS SUNDAY, costs £24, & the Target Event is the £40,000 Guaranteed UKOPS Main Event on November 6th.
Here's the LOBBY
In before you ask, part 937.
First up, there is now a UKOPS Tab in the Lobby. It just has a selection of UKOPS XVII Events in so far, mainly the Main Events, but it will gradually populate in the coming weeks.
To find Satellites in that Lobby, don't forget to UNTICK that little checkbox at the bottom of the lobby. ("Hide Sats").
Even easier, to find the one you are looking for, click "BUY IN" & it will put everything in order of Entry Fee, lowest to highest or vice versa. If it is the wrong way round, click it again......
All the Satellites to UKOPS are in there, & they will also appear in the Satellite Lobby.
The PLO has been my favourite event, hopefully will get a few more players trying it with the leaderboard points on offer. Will you be giving 4 cards a try StayorGo?
Great work sky, very impressed with new tournament schedule and UKOPS is the icing on the cake.
i am contemplating running a live UKOPS leaderboard for the final day.
i have done it before for previous UKOPS.
the live leaderboard is a display of standings updated every 20 minutes through sunday evening. up until i go to bed, that is. it shows where you are if all games were to finish there and then. a projected result.
I have one question borne out of curiosity. Why are there 4 people pre-registered for UKOPS 10 the high roller?
take your favourite sport, how are points awarded?
if it is premier league footie, imagine that each game was 13 points for a draw and 39 points for a win. it becomes clunky. consider calculating where your team stands, e.g. grasping quickly how many wins spurs need nearing the season end, when leicester's lead is 113 points.
the principle is that the base unit is always one point. thereafter the points awarded is a multiple. if the scoring requires awarding say 2.5 points the base unit is doubled to eradicate the decimal point. in which case, 1 and 2.5 points becomes 2 and 5 points for simplicity. where no decimal point occurs there is no need to double the points in the scoring system.
rugby is an example of this doubling. 2 points for a conversion, 3 points for a kick, 5 points for a try. the relationship between the scores is maintained. it would be clunky to have 1, 1.5 and 2.5 points (incidentally, for me it would be much better for rugby to adopt a 1, 1, 3 points system).
ukops points scale is fine. i am not suggesting any change in how the points relate to each other. i am simply pointing out that as every award (there are 8 different ones) is divisible by 5 it is unnecessarily clunky. the relationship between awards can be maintained by using 1 point as the base unit, not 5.
the benefit is people can see more easily what it means to play and win one more tournament. a small tweak, but meaningful.
