Lead

[edit]
  • "Fred Davis won his eighth and world snooker title" - missing word from this piece of text
  • "Pulman led 31–29 going into the last day of the final, but Davis won 8 of the first 10 frames on 10 March" - Pulamn led 31–29 going into the last day of the final on 10 March, but Davis won 8 of the first 10 frames on that day

Background

[edit]
  • "when the event was cancelled during World War II, and again when the championship resumed in 1946, accumulating a total of 15 titles before retiring from the event." - repetition of "event"
  • "The BACC claimed that the championship was primarily about honour," - little too close to the source material
  • I've gone back to The BACC's own words from 1951 now, as I don't think that the later sources really cover that the BACC was arguing that the division of income was fair, as well as that the championship was mainly about honour. Let me know if this needs another rework. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "whilst the PBPA members felt that the BACC was taking too large a share of the income from the events and established an alternative competition which became known as the World Professional Match-play Championship, now recognised as world championships events." - repetition of "events"
  • "and the four previous editions of the World Professional Match-play Championship, in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955." - each year from 1952 to 1955.

Semi-finals

[edit]
  • The dates for both the semi finals are missing
  • Wikilink the terms frame and session only on the first mention to the relevant articles
  • "Each player won three frames in the afternoon session on the second day." - in the second day's afternoon session.
  • "Williams won the first frame, and, after Davis had won the second," - repetition of "won"
  • "Davis compiled a century break in the seventh frame of the match, - what was the score of Davis' century break?
  • "The highest break of the day was 54 made by Davis in frame fifteen," - The day's highest break was a 54
  • "until bettered by one point by Williams in 1965." - until it was bettered

Final

[edit]
  • "The final was over 73 frames, played from 5 to 10 March at the Tower Circus, Blackpool." - a word is missing at the start of the second part of this portion of text
  • "Davis won the opening frame and took a 4–2 lead during the afternoon session, making a break of 96 in the fourth frame, but Pulman, who compiled a break of 85 in the ninth frame, led 7–5 after the opening day." - run-on sentence
  • "Davis won the first frame on the second evening, but Pulman then won five consecutive frames to lead 14–10 after the second day." - repetition of "won"

Final (table)

[edit]
  • "6 March (second day)[48][30]" - refs in numerical order please

References

[edit]
  • References 1 and 11 are missing the page numbers
  • References 21 to 23 appear to be incorrectly formatted
  • Reference 33 "Good recovery by Davis after poor start" looks like its missing the page number
  • Reference 48 appears that the page number(s) are missing
