Lead

 * "The 2019 Champion of Champions (also known as the 2019 ManbetX Champion of Champions for sponsorship reasons) was a professional snooker tournament. The event took place from 4 to 10 November 2019 at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, England." - how about merging the two sentences together with some minor rewording?

 * "having defeated Kyren Wilson 10–9 in the final of the previous year's event." - how about a plain 2018 event?
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "Robertson defeated Trump 10–9, despite requiring" - the word despite is considered editoralising per WP:EDITORIALIZING

Tournament format

 * "The 2019 Champion of Champions featured 16 winners of events from the previous twelve months on the World Snooker Tour." - change the text in bold to 12 to for consistency per MOS:NUMERAL
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:19, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * How about mention that ITV4 broadcast the tournament? It will need to be sourced by a reliable citation such as References 1 or 2.

 * "Qualifying players were split into four groups of four players. Each group played on a different day, with the semi-finals and final played on 9 and 10 November. Matches were of differing lengths throughout the competition, with the opening round being a best-of-7 frames, group finals and semi-finals best-of-11-frames, and the two-session final played as best-of-19-frames." - none of this is supported by the Upcoming Matches (Champion of Champions 2019) reference. That source will need to be replaced by the ManBetX Champion of Champions (2019) - snooker.org citation

 * "The breakdown of prize money for 2019 was:[7][6]" - the refs should be in numerical order

Prize fund

 * "The event featured a prize fund of £440,000, an increase of £70,000 over the 2018 event." - not mentioned in any of the source. Will need additional verification

Qualification

 * "The winners of the first sixteen tournaments on the list were guaranteed a place in the championship." - should the text in bold be changed to 16 for consistency?
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:23, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "if there were players who met multiple qualification criteria." - in the event

Group stages

 * All of the prior tournament victories that are attached to the players names should be cited with the "ManBetX Champion of Champions (2019) - snooker.org" and the "Qualified Players" sources

 * "In the other group game, 2019 China Championship winner Shaun Murphy played Reanne Evans, who had won the 2019 World Women's Snooker Championship." - more concise for the text in bold Reanne Evans, the 2019 World Women's Snooker Champion
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "Evans took the next three frames, however, and forced" - more concise and neutral Evans took the next three frames to force
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "Murphy also commented later that the audience was rooting for Evans" - more formal were supporting
 * "and two 90+ breaks." - better; and two breaks of over 90.

 * "play 2019 World Seniors Championship winner Jimmy White. White won the first three frames" - Try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "The group final featured O'Sullivan defeat Higgins" - defeating

Knockout stages

 * "Robertson won the next two frames with breaks of 96 and 111, however, to lead 5–4 between sessions." - better and more concise Breaks of 96 and 111 gave Robertson the next two frames and lead 5–4 between sessions.

 * "The following frame, Trump required foul shots to win the frame," - not mentioned by the BBC Sport source but Eurosport does
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "In the deciding frame, Robertson made a break of 137 to win the match." - the snooker.org citation of the 2015 tournament attached to this sentence does not mention the 137 break to win the match though both BBC Sport and Eurosport do
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Main draw

 * How about mention that the players who are highlighted in bold denote the match winners?
