Talk:2020 Tour Championship

older entries

The final is a best-of-27 this year, not a best-of-25 like last year. I edited this page to 27 frame final yesterday, and someone changed it back to the incorrect 25 frame final. Earlier in the season at one of the Coral series events, Jill Douglas mentioned the Tour Championship final was a best-of-27, which I thought others would have picked up on. TV guides are now stating it's a best-of-27 frame final.

This user, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wiki13565, changed it back to 25 frames today...which is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.85.52 (talk) 18:13, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

• Since the event has already happened, some parts of the overview section needs to be changed to past tense.
• Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the prize money for the highest break in the reference.
• You can probably remove the first of the two consecutive citations to ref 19.

• "contested the first; and" I think the semicolon can be removed here.

• I'm not sure, but do the century breaks need a colon before the name of the player?
  • I've never done this previously, and 2019 Tour Championship is an FA. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:24, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 06:49, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Incorrect frame counts given in SnookerHQ source

Ref.5 (https://snookerhq.com/2020/03/16/tour-championship-draw-preview-2/) (dated 16 March, before the event was postponed) says the quarter-finals were first to nine (best of 17, correct), the semi-finals the first to ten (best of 19, incorrect), and the final taking place over a whopping 25 frames (also incorrect). Was this the original format that was changed after the event was postponed for 3 months? Or is it just blatantly incorrect information? In any case, we shouldn't be using this as a source for the match durations so I'll cut it out and tidy up... So it now occurs to me that the frame numbers were changed from the original format because in 2019 it was 17/19/25. This would be to do with the single table setup throughout and having to cram in more sessions, so should we pick up on that and explain the changes and why?
