Hand for Hand......
Please note that Sky Poker will be going hand for hand from 2 tables out for the following UKOPS sats UKOPS Super Satellite @ 9pm every day (6 prizes)
UKOPS Direct @ 7.30 & 10.30 (10 prizes guaranteed)
This will apply to ANY UKOPS satellites which have 6 or more Prizes.
Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that it will be available for UKOPS itself. It is on one of the current spec improvement packages, but it's highly unlikely to be ready, & fully tested, in time for UKOPS.
UKOPS Leaderboard, & prizes.
It has not been finally agreed how this will work, what points per placing/Event etc, yet, but it WILL happen.
Prizes? Yes, 5 Prizes have been earmarked, as follows......
5th & 4th - Free Entry to a standard One Day £110 SPT 2011/12 Leg.
3rd & 2nd - Free Entry to a standard Two Day £220 SPT 2011/12 Leg.
WINNER - Free Entry to the SPT 2011/12 Grand Final. (£330).
TV Coverage.
Still under review, but there are a myriad of different ways of doing, or attempting to do this, & nothing has been agreed yet.
However, the UKOPS Tourneys will all have the TV Icon, which allows Ch 865 to televise them, either live or recorded, should they do choose.
Some coverage is guaranteed - final Tables etc - in recorded form, but "Live" is still under review.
Obviously, the Omaha, & the Rebuys, will NOT be shown on 865 come what may.
On a personal note, if 865 do not require my services on any UKOPS night, I'll play the whole series. (tikay1, my own account). I will NOT be entering any UKOPS Satellites, as that may be misconstrued by one or two.
For those who want to buy-in direct, ALL the UKOPS Events are now in the Registration Lobby. UKOPS #1 is in the top, "greyed out" section, 2 - 8 are at the foot of the Lobby.
1)Please don't finish the TV coverage at 1am seen as this is deffo the most important week of the year for Sky Poker, all tournaments NEED to be covered until they finish.
2) If any micro stakes players are brought in by the "buzz" they are likely to be put off by the extortionate rake of the low stakes STTs
The UKOPS Super Sat looks like a grand final line up already
Check out some of these names - and the fish highlighted in red
Just so you can see it in black & white, here is the Main Event Lobby......
I have tried a few times already and will get in a few at least
Cant wait!
Made it through the second sat i enetered. More overlay than a bald-mans toupe**
Fantastic value.
*Think Comet, only you don't get to own the TV
** Ask Tikay.

The absolute worst thing an online poker site can do, in terms of increasing and sustaining growth in the long term, is to target their marketing campaign towards attracting winning players to play on the site. Not all growth is good growth.
