UKIPT Season 3 Feedback

[GPPT Jamie]

Hi everyone,

We are already looking towards UKIPT Season 4 and would like to get some input from you guys....

As it is the players that have made this tour such a success over the past few years we would like to hear what you would like to see change/stay the same for Season 4.

We are specifically especially interested in your thoughts on the following topics but feedback on ANY part of the tour would be much appreciated:

- Re-entry tournaments (for side events, not the main event)

- Event entry increases - side and main events

- Live satellite schedule

- General schedule comments

- New potential stops you would like to see on the tour

Thank you and hopefully we will be seeing you in Bristol in a couple of weeks

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I don't think there is much I can add to what you want, but really would discourage increasing the ME entry. It just attracts those that may be able to afford it and another increase will knock off some punters for sure. With all gte's met, no need for changes, imo.

With regads to other locations, if you keep adding locations it's going to take the uniqueness away from the events in question and with one or two events within a couple of hours of most people, I think that is also pretty good. I wouldn't go adding many more locations.

If I had one thing to change, I would probably add more chips to proceedings, perhaps this is because I am used to having more chips to play with in buyins at more than £300+.

Otherwise, I think it's fine as it is.

Move the Edinburgh stop back to August please.

Really? In the whole of 2012 there will have been just three UKIPT stops in the whole of the UK.

Definitely consider adding a couple more stops within the UK. And don't forget there are four countries in the UK.

I'd prefer it if the main events were limited to 3 days.  4 days really puts me off. 

I know people will say that only the final tablists need to take the fourth day off,  but I don't ever work in places where you can just skip a day at five minutes notice.  Hence for a 4 day tournament it always means I need to book 2 days off. 

Entry costs are fine, but I'd be OK with higher too.

I wouldn't mind adding one or maybe 2 more locations to it, but probably wouldn't agree with a mapping out of the UKIPT.

Like said, having 2-3 a year is fine imo, adds uniqueness, rather than one every other month?

What locations would you add?

[George2Loose]

Agree regarding 4 days. Should play a slightly longer day on Saturday so the tourney is finished Sunday.

Was just going to post this. I'm fine taking a day off for a day 1 of a 3 day comp but when it could potentially run into a Monday I just don't tend to bother at all. With early start times I think there is plenty of scope to make the first 2 days longer and fit it into 3days.

England, Scotland, Northern Ireland.....nope, is there a fourth?

What locations would you add?

You could happily add another stop in the north (leeds/manchester/blackpool), another one in the south east or south coast (there are a LOT of people in this area), one in wales (I know they tried to do this) and one in northern ireland. I do agree with not having too many stops, but think there are possibly too few in the UK at the moment.

The North. A different country.

Option for 1 re entry in sides no bad thing either , a lot of players travel a good distance for these events ,if u bust out early re entry gives players the chance to maybe still make a night of it , poker wise ,instead of being stuck in a casino ,or going on the piss , most have come to play poker .
One thing I don't personally like is seeing the same players who have a seat / package still playing sats for the same event !!

[AndrewT]

Another stop in the south east is needed - only one event south and east of Bristol and Nottingham for about 1/3rd of the population.

The south really does need another one really. If it wasn't for a movement to Bristol a couple of months ago, then it would not have one down there.

I am not so sure about having another "central" one really, we already have Nottingham & those that are in between Nottingham and Newcastle (me, Sheffield) are pretty well off for choice really, so not sure really. I wouldn't say no, but not too fussed on another one.

Manchester wouldn't be bad for me really as I am there every other weekend, although will be a fail if it as G-Casino, after my recent banning.
