I have to say it's pretty disappointing. As the first one was a success, I expected there to be more events, not less. Any reason why the HR or the turbo have been cutout ? Pretty sure those that like the 4 card variety will be slightly disappointed as well. Also, the gte's for the first two events couldn't really be more conservative, didn't the £110 d/s get 200 runners in UKOPS 1 ?

per Sky Poker

"Of course, there's a natural question which could be asked: 'why less events?'

Easy - this is UKOPS Xmas, which is basically something of a festive pressie from the people at Sky Poker. It's going to be a busy time for poker players, what with all the repeats of Only Fools and Horses and The Snowman, so we wanted to make sure you were all kept company through the festive period by some bumper tourneys.

Our intention with the 'full-blown' UKOPS as I am calling it in the office is the same. What is that? Well we can't tell you everything but expect some news on that in first few weeks of January.... "

Mondy.

Tighty has explained it pretty well.

This is just, in truth, an interim "Mini-UKOPS".

The full blown UKOPS will return. Sooner than you expect, & more frequently.....

UKOPS ticked all of it's commercial boxes, & some, & lessons were learned, too. Some major software upgrades which are in late stage Testing should also be ready for the next "proper UKOPS".

Big thanks to you, & so many blondes, who supported the first UKOPS. Hope we can repeat that next time.
