    A quick "thank you" to Miss Kirsty, up in Head Office, who had the dubious honour of proof-reading & uploading all 10 Blogs during UKOPs, also Tweeting them.

    They are more time consuming to research, write & Upload than you may think, but Sky Poker are the only site I know which still has its own Online Community, & The Business think it is very important to nurture it.

    Well done Kirsty. Will she be doing a daily blog for the Mini's too?

    ^^^^

    We are currently discussing that, Alan.

    It adds considerably to her workload, but if she is able to find time, then I'm happy to write them. (I don't have the access rights or skills to upload them).
     
    It is in discussion right now, e-Mails are going back & forth.

    Cracking stuff - "that's the way he rolls" was inspired.

    Good good. Joking apart, I realise you put a lot of effort and time into these, and add a personnal touch too if you know/know of the players. Obv, Kirsty still has to do the majority of the work, no doubt.

    Very glad to hear. The write ups are brilliant and I thank you and if they had not continued for the mini UKOPS it would seem like it was devaluing the concept.

    Good work Tikay, we've all really enjoyed it. Thanks for the mentions! This has been my first UKOPS and I'm already looking forward to the next one. How often do they run, 2-3 times a year?

    It sort of varies, but I think, generally, early November, Xmas (between Boxing Day & New Year's Eve Eve), Easter, & sometimes one other slot.

    I'd be reasonably confident that the next one will be sometime between Boxing Day & December 30th.
     
    You played all 42 in the Main UKOPS - will you be doing the same (all 28) in the Mini UKOPS?

    I just noticed you finished 3rd in the UKOPS Total Player Leaderboard for £600. Wowzer, very well done.

    Thanks for the info. I am going to give them a good go, but I have a few things on this weekend so I am highly doubtful to get the 100% attendance this time. 

    Thanks, 3rd was a good result. I cashed all 4 last night, I was pushing really hard to win Total Player... In a way winning that is the most important thing to me. Really going to push for Total Player next time.

    Never realised that, or would have mentioned it.

    Has anyone else cashed in all 4 UKOPS Events on the same evening, I wonder?

    Already said this on the Day9 blog thread, but re-iterating what reflex said. (sorry for the duplication, but this is more appropriate to be on the thread of the last day blog)

    I loved having the leader board and the blogs this year.

    It made a big difference to the number of games I played.

    I played all but one, and without the leader board. I would have probably only played about half of them. I just like the competition and kudos that having a leader board provides. (I don't think I'm alone here)

    So I really think it paid for itself, and the numbers seem to suggest that.

    Congrats to all, especially MUZOWNED for taking it down, and great effort on the last day reflex!

    Great job Sky, and thank you once again for the blogs TK/Kirsty.

    All the best to those who are playing Mini UKOPS.

    Cheers,

    G

    Thanks Stay, you were right up there too and had a good series, good work! I agree totally about the Total Player, I love leaderbaoards and trying to prove yourself over a series against everyone, it really motivates me.
