Background

 * The section can be split into two paragraphs with a new one starting from the mention of the BACC
 * Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "All matches except the final were to be of 31frames," - missing space between "31" and "frames"
 * Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "The final would be played over 73 frames at a location determined by the BACC, expected to be over one week but with the BACC having the option to extend the duration to two weeks." - repetition of "BACC"
 * Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "expected to be over one week" - last more than
 * Reworded to "last one week", as the source wording says "The final will consist of 73 games - one week's play. The Council reserves the right to extend the duration of the final to two weeks if found expedient." BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Summary

 * "The Championship attracted a total of 14 entries; 13 were originally announced[12]" - a total of 13 were originally announced,
 * "announced[12] with Fred Lawrence being added a few days later.[13]" - comma missing from the first citation in this text
 * Amended for both points. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:29, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Quarter-finals

 * "aced Sydney Lee at the Clifton Hotel in in Blackpool." - extra unneeded use of the word "in"
 * "Fred Davis played Alec Brown in the second match to be played at the Clifton Hotel." - which dates?
 * Amended for both points. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-finals

 * "making a break of 106" - in which frame was this break made?
 * Added that it was the eighth frame. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:05, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Final

 * "scheduled each day (except on 12 May when there was no play)" - full stop is missing from this sentence
 * "he told the Daily Mirror that" - sentence should begin with a capital letter
 * "Lindrum, however, won the first three frames of the third session to lead 8–7, before Davis responded by winning the last three frames and regaining the lead at 10–8" - repetition of "w(o)inning"
 * "and finishing the day at a 14–10 lead." - leading 14–10.
 * "The final attracted full houses," - text in bold is informal
 * "He only needed 7 minutes 15 seconds" - a comma is missing between the time period
 * Points above are all addressed. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:04, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "he received a replica of the World Championship trophy." - in what year did Davis receive this trophy replica?
 * I've removed this as the testimonial fund (to buy him the replica trophy and a silver tea set) wasn't launched until September 1948, so, on reflection, the statement seems a bit out of scope for this article. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:04, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Qualifying

 * "Kingsley Kennerley met Fred Lawrence from 7–9 January" - 7 to January
 * "accoring to David Williams in the Daily Herald," - spelling error
 * " Shropshire with Kennerley,[73], and Newman defeated Stanbury" - the extra comma is unneeded
 * "Newman defeated Stanbury in their match held from 11–13 February" - 11 to 13 February
 * Also add the final score to the above sentence
 * All done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
