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.
Also this. Very good point.

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.

If it is to remain 4 days then midweek-Sun makes more sense than Fri-Monday?
Guarantees a bigger audience for the final than a Monday afternoon, both at venue and online.
Those who want to can play midweek and if you are taking a day off work, Friday generally better than Monday
In terms of online, live streams? Not particularly sure why, but the blog aside there was much less supporting activity this year on facebook/twitter/Stars TV etc at events (thats my perception,. it may be mistaken)
Consider using external blogger/site (cough, personal and professional interest) alongside the Poker Stars blog? Worked very well at Nottingham I thought, and the interactive updates really added something to what the Stars blog offered (excellent writing but punters don't really get involved with it)
I know just the person you need to contact.....

Doesn't really solve the problem. The issue is currently you need to take a Friday off work regardless and then possibly a Monday if you FT.

Yes, but to play a UKIPT you are going to have to take at least 1 day off. The structure is terrific, and plays out I think over three playing days, with a couple of day ones so four days total. Currently if you final you need two days off
Finishing on a Sunday at least means that you choose which of Thurs/Fri you play, and only need one day's holiday.
The ancillary benefit is you get a bigger rail live and online (blog, stream, social media) if the event concludes on a Sunday evening.

Couple of comments based on feedback thus far:
- 2012 was a slight strange year scheduling was for the UKIPT for various fairly boring reasons. We are looking to amend this for next season.
- Countries - we tried with Wales this year, unfortunately Swansea fell through and was replaced by Bristol (hopefully still attractive for players from Wales). Northern Ireland I believe is currently illegal as they have different gaming laws.
- Edinburgh - Players were critical of some aspects of the Corn Exchange as a poker venue (out of town etc etc) in our post event surveys. During festival time it is impossible to find a central venue for 500+ which makes August very difficult which is a shame.
- The Monday final table is something we have thought long and hard about. It is pretty much impossible to fit a UKIPT main event into 3 days without playing 12-14 hour days which doesn't add much to the recreational/social player experience IMO. We also looked at having Day 1A/B starting on a Wednesday but the general consensus was that this would mean even more days off (or at least the same number) for those working Mon-Fri if we started festival on Tuesday evening with Day 1A on Wednesday. We will take another look at this based on comments.

please
. Seriously though, the PS UK&I marketing team has been restructured and enlarged so hopefully we will see some changes in this going forward, I will make them aware of your feedback.
Keep it coming please, all excellent stuff!

I thought the Corn Exchange was an excellent venue. Having the tournament on during the festival was fantastic.
Edinburgh in January is very unappealing.

Take some levels out and lose a day imo.
Easily drop the 75-150, 150-300, 500-1000, 1200-2400, 2500-5000 levels without taking too much play away from the event. Add antes earlier than level 6 too.
Or make the day 1 40/45 minute levels?

Nope. Four playing days if you start on day 1B, five including day 1A

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)
Make all sides re-entry
- Event entry increases - side and main events
Do NOT increase the main event buy-in, i think you are pushing it with the £700 as it is! Anything higher then this would be ridiculous for the majority of recreational players
- Live satellite schedule
No idea
- General schedule comments
No idea
- New potential stops you would like to see on the tour
Sheffield (possibly being slightly biased here)
Thank you and hopefully we will be seeing you in Bristol in a couple of weeks
Jamie

As a recreational player I hate those longer days. Gives me no chance to have a drink or get some food afterwards unless I stay in the casino or get room service. Much preferred the current format.
