General

 * Several players who have the diacritics (i.e. accents and dots) in their names do not have them in the article and these will need to be included

 * Currently, two mentions of the women's events are reffered to as "ladies". Is this correct?
 * As the events are organised by a German company (well, the Euro Tour is continental, so most of the writers are Dutch or German etc), most of the sources are written in broken English. They refer to it as both. I can go with either, or change all mentions to women. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:03, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe it would be beneficial if it was referred to as a women's event rather than a ladies' event on a whole. MWright96 (talk) 14:06, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:21, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Lead

 * "was a nine-ball pool tournament," - maybe combine the two links per MOS:SEAOFBLUE?
 * Yeah, I should have done this. ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "who defeated the Netherland's" - typo; Netherlands
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "The defending champion was Netherland's Fedor Gorst," - Fedor Gorst of the Netherlands,
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "Russias Kristina Tkach was the defending champion" - another typo; Russia's
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "in the previous year's final 7–0." - how about plain "2018 final" over "previous year"?

Tournament format

 * "The event was held from 8 to 11 May for the men's event, and 9 to 12 May for the women's event." The source attacted to this text does not mention the exact dates and will need another citation to back it up
 * Added a primary source for both events with the official dates. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:08, 4 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Also the above sentence would be better written as The men's event was held from 8 to 11 May, and the Women's took place between 9 to 12 May.
 * "Russias Kristina Tkach was the defending champion of the ladies event," - typo; Russia's

Prize fund

 * The last-16 column in the table should begin with a capital letter
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:01, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Also the source attacted to the prize fund sentence does not mention any monetary awards at all. This will need urgent addressing.
 * Fixed. Link was pointing to the wrong location. Bare in mind, the prize fund is in dollars here, but originally in Euro. I've added a primary source to show it was in Euros. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:01, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Men's event

 * "The men's event was held from 8 to 10 May, with 208 participants" - this flows better: 208 participants entered the men's event held from 8 to 11 May.

 * "Massey, however, was unable to win either a game, losing to Bruno Ernst and Juan Antonio Pina-Hidalgo." - more concise and neutral Massey lost both of his games to Bruno Ernst and Juan Antonio Pina-Hidalgo.
 * Changed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "Ouschan won the next two matches, but lost to" - an improvement: before he lost
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "Gray led 4–2, but Staab won four racks in-a-row" - better: until Staab won four consecutive racks
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "Post-match, Gray would comment that he "didn't know how [he] won"" - Gray commented he was mystied as to how he won the game
 * ✅ - with spelling change Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "He led at 4–3, and 6–4, but Saris won" - He led at 4–3 and 6–4 before Saris won
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Women's event

 * "The women's event was played between 9 and 11 May, with 44 participants." - would be better worded as 44 participatnts played in the women's event between 9 and 11 May.
 * Should never start a sentence with a number per MOS:NUM. I've added a prelude. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "before a 7–4 win over Polands" - typo: Poland's
 * This was quite bad in this article. Fixed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "Gradišnik took advantage and won the following four racks to win and" - to claim a victory
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "Last years runner-up Oliwia Czuprynska also lost at this stage," just say 2018 runner-up instead of writing "last years"
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "The first semi-final had Gradišnik leading 6–5 over Tkach, but made mistakes on" - better: over Tkach; she made errors
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * "five racks to trail at 6–5, but Tkach won the next rack" - more neutral before
