Darkangel7 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Isn't there any blogs going to see who's actually playing in Brighton this time? Which Ambassadors are there? Who's in the community? Any decent hands for analysis? What's happened? Has the UK Tour taken a back seat to everything else? Hope everyone is having a blast but hope to read about what's happening down there. The more hype for the UK Tours the better. I think that the UK Tour could become a lot bigger than it currently is. It feels like it's the poor relation to the bigger events happening. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Really disappointed not to see a blog although they were there taking pics and writing stuff up. Only chatted with @MathrimC and the ambassadors yesterday who I knew. Dunno who’s there today. I busted around last level last night going for glory and on the pub crawl now. Think Tim has about 200k so looking good for the start of day 2. Might pop in later and see who’s about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder if this would happen with the qualifiers being reduced right down. However the main feedback was the cost of staying in Brighton I got round that by driving and staying at a hotel 10 miles away but that isn't an option for everyone. I hear more people are intending to go to Glasgow so maybe it is a cost issue. On a positive note it's good that the guarantee was cleared again. Its still popular with the locals.

Jot_UK Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Really disappointed with the social media support for this event. Minimal news on the Facebook page, not many tweets, nothing in the card room inviting participation using a hashtag, ambassadors thin on the ground. Fourth one I have entered - may not do another. The activity surrounding the event all adds to the atmosphere, and this is as quiet as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeppeL Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thanks a lot for the feedback @Jot_UK! In your opinion, was it better for the past three events you attended or was it lacking there as well? I'm just trying to gauge whether or not you think we're doing something worse now than in the past, or if always could've been better :)/Jeppe Former Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jot_UK Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I suppose the issue for me is that the whole thing is an event, something that is enjoyable for the craic as well as playing the tournament. In previous tournaments I have made new friends. In the Unibet Open I also got knocked out on the first day, and then palyed two side events, and one event organised through this community. In Manchester in 2016 I reached the final table and I had a dozen friends reading the blog that was updated every few minutes, watching facebook and twitter for updates, and it became participative. The Brighton tournament that ended yesterday must have finished at about 2am but the only tweets using the hashtag #unibetpoker or #uktour were two tweets from the winner in the preceding three hours, one from Unibet showing the final table and one from Daiva Byrne applauding the eventual winner. There were no stack updates during the final twelve hours except for one tweet applauding the guy who came 2nd increasing from 200K to 700K in a couple of hours - no hand analysis, nothing.So all in all, my view is that the event is enjoyable in itself, but you could do so much more, using twitter, facebook and a blog (Oh, and lots more photos of the ordinary participants - last year in Brighton four of the players I spent all Day 1 with, ended up on the final table, which was interesting for me, but I only knew that from photos that were posted). Side events : Lets have some ; Lots of people who go out after a few hours could have been kept there with a £40-60 turbo. I could go on, but you get the gist. I enjoyed my tournament, but it could be so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omahahaha Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Are the final results for Brighton going to be posted here and/or thehendonmob sometime ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelsBadMan Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 They are going to be on hendonmob, but I've noticed that it takes a while until it gets updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
