Which player take part at the Champions League
The article doesn't show, why players can take part at the champions league. Is it because of their ranking, or is it an invitation-tournament? (sorry for my bad English :) --87.122.116.110 (talk) 21:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * They participate in the event, because they are invited to play. Matchroom Sport has not issued the criteria, they use to determine the players. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  21:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Venue
The Lede currently states: "All tournaments have been held at the Crondon Park Golf Club since its debut in 2008." However, as our individual year articles (linked from the table) say, the 2017 tournament was, and the 2018 tournament is currently being, played at the Ricoh Arena, Sheffield. This is confirmed for 2017 by Reference 13 in this article: the corresponding Reference 14 for 2018 gives the venue only as England, and 2018's own article doesn't give a reference for the venue (that I can see) but it is visibly taking place at the Ricoh in the recordings currently on YouTube. {The poster formely known as 87.81.230.195} 90.200.41.3 (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Unfair format?
As I understand it, format allows that (in theory) 5 out of 7 players from the first group eventually get their way to the finals (winners group)? And a player starting in the first group could have seven shots at becoming a group winner, while those two starting in the last group only get one try? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.186.69.180 (talk) 12:51, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Prize fund details for 2012 and before
I have been working on the winnings tables for the invitational version of the Championship League and, to that end, have created an Excel spreadsheet to work it all out (if anyone would like a copy just let me know where to send it). This works quite well and I have been able to use it to correct errors in the tables for 2021, 2019, 2016 & 2015, and to add the tables for 2019-2020, 2014 & 2013.

But now I'm stuck! Looking at the 2012 & 2011 tournaments, there seems to be a different prize fund arrangement for the final group, with no difference between a frame-win in the league and a frame-win in the play-offs. I've done some research but have not been able, so far, to confirm this to be the case. Also, for the 2010 tournament, there seems to be no high-break prizes.

I would like to be able to independently confirm this, before working on the tables for 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to find this information. AlH42 (talk) 14:07, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Winners table
I only just noticed (I'm not in here very often) that you made some major changes last month to the Winners table, and I just wondered why? I quite liked it the way it was, so that you could sort the table by the players' names. Alan  (talk) 15:18, 18 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I was making minor edits to other tables on the tournament pages and updated this one to be in the same style. Personally I thought sorting is a bit unnecessary for these tables, but I just added it back since it actually works with some of the locations spanning multiple rows. Feel free to make changes / revert my edits if you want to, though! AmethystZhou (talk) 08:45, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Just making it sortable without putting all the "data-sort-value" stuff back in doesn't work for the names, so I'll put it back the way it was if that's OK.  Alan   (talk) 09:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Prize fund calculation
For information: There is some hidden text in the "Prize fund" section, detailing the arithmetic that was used to get the maximum and minimum possible tournament totals. It has been pointed out elsewhere that users often miss hidden text, so here are the calculations:

Maximum possible tournament total: £205,000 (if all match results are 32) 100x7x21x5 + 300x7x3x5 + 500x7 + 1000x7x2 + 2000x7 + 3000x7 + 200x21x5 + 300x3x5 + 1000 + 3000x2 + 5000 + 10000 = 205000

Minimum possible tournament total: £152,800 (if all match results are 30) 100x7x21x3 + 300x7x3x3 + 500x7 + 1000x7x2 + 2000x7 + 3000x7 + 200x21x3 + 300x3x3 + 1000 + 3000x2 + 5000 + 10000 = 152800
