Round 1

 * General question: Are the individual "targets" on the board actually called rings? I thought the ring was the whole double ring or the whole treble ring. (e.g. Should it be "double 18 ring" or just "double 18"?)
 * Yes. Have also clarified their positions. MWright96 (talk) 07:45, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * General comment: I would suggest labelling all of the seeds as "world number __" and leaving the rankings out for all of the remaining unseeded players. As of now, I don't see a pattern with who is labelled with a ranking and who is not.
 * the director of the world championship Tommy Cox ===>>> the director of the world championship Tommy Cox,
 * in which 32 players ===>>> in which all 32 players

Round 2

 * Warriner,[29] who was the highest ranked player to lose in the tournament. ===>>> Warriner,[29] who was the first player ranked in the top ten to lose in the tournament. (Of course he was the highest-ranked player to lose if he is number one and he lost.)
 * with both players tying the score four times in the first eight sets ===>>> after neither player led by more than a se t until the end of the match. (I don't think "both players tying the score four times" is clear.)
 * Baxter took more than one hour ===>>> Baxter only took a little more than one hour (It's supposed to be a short amount of time, right?)
 * Baxter's higher finishing average won him six consecutive sets ===>>> Baxter's higher finishing average won him six consecutive legs in the middle of the match (legs, not sets)
 * Taylor averaged 111.21 points of a three-dart average ===>>> Taylor averaged 111.21 points OR Taylor had a three-dart average of 111.21 points
 * After both players began at a slow pace with Harrington compiling high scores (add "and missing checkouts") and Priestley making checkouts (add "without high scores")
 * after Harrington failed to complete a 169 checkout. <<<=== I'd leave this out. It doesn't seem important. (Also, there is no such thing as a 169 checkout...)
