2020 Tour Championship

 * Nominator(s): Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

This article is about the second professional snooker event after the lockdown. The event features the best 8 players on the single season list. Stephen Maguire was indeed "on fire" after winning his first ranking event in years. Both Shaun Murphy and Maguire created new records for most century breaks in best-of-17 frames matches. Not bad, considering Magiure had not qualified to play, and only recieved a spot after Ding Junhui pulled out. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm assuming the tournament was moved from Wales to England because Wales was under a stricter lockdown? This could be worth mentioning as the venue change isn't really explained.
 * No actual information other than it being more suitable. I did hear David Hendon suggest the move was actually more for TV (due to ITV being based in London), but I have no sources suggesting either way. The big reason is because the previous event was played there, and there's an onsite hotel for the players. - - not sure how I'd word that? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "were checked for Covid-19", checked reads a little oddly and overly casual for the situation. Perhaps tested?
 * Works for me. Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Was it a one-off test for COVID or a rolling test programme like some other sports?
 * They were tested when they arrived, and then not allowed to leave! Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "Prize money at this stage do not count towards prize" > does not count?

 * The quarter final stage uses "best of 17 frames" while other uses include the hyphens?
 * fixed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "The first match was held between Neil Robertson and Stephen Maguire", this sentence reads a little oddly I feel. If you're using held, I would suggest "The first match held was between..." Thoughts?
 * I don't really see the difference, but I've changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "for Ding Junhui who could not travel to the event from China", probably worth adding why he couldn't travel from China, especially as the lead does and this doesn't.
 * added Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "performance was the "greatest performance", a little repetitive with performance here.
 * Agreed. Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "surpas", typo here.
 * Whoops! Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "Trump won the next two frames, and led 5–3 after the first session.[20] Trump won the first three frames", two successive sentences beginning with Trump. As the subject doesn't change, you could drop the second for "He".
 * Changed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * There appears to be some variation in the use of digits or words when listing frame numbers under ten. For example, both frame 8 and frame eight and frame 9 and frame nine are used. Is there a reason for the difference?
 * nope, should all be eight/nine, I think I got them all. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "final quarter-final", the double use of final is a little jarring. Perhaps last quarter-final?
 * Agreed 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "three-time world champion Mark Selby", it seems a little strange to include the three-time world champion part when he's already been mentioned in the previous round. I would of thought this would be better placed at his first entry into the competition?
 * Hmm, I usually add these for colour. But I've removed this instance. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

A few points I picked up from a run through. Nothing particularly troublesome, this is a nice article overall. Kosack (talk) 08:19, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes indeed, thanks . See a couple of minor comments under "infobox and lead" which I've added. Although the issue of Snooker Scene covering the event was published only after the article was written, and so it would be unfair to include it as "relevant literature" for assessment of criterion (1c), I'll check whether there is anything that looks significant there that isn't in the article here, and let you know.

Comments Support from Rodney Baggins
Hi Lee, I've done quite a lot of copyediting while going through the article. Anything you don't agree with, please revert, I won't be offended :) There are a couple more tweaks I want to make, but here are my comments for you to consider at your leisure/pleasure...


 * Lead:
 * "Stephen Maguire defeated Robertson and Judd Trump; whilst Mark Allen defeated Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby to reach the final." - sounds a bit awkward and not particularly clear, would suggest expanding to something like: "Stephen Maguire met Mark Allen in the final; Maguire had defeated Robertson and Judd Trump in the two earlier rounds, whilst Mark Allen had defeated Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby [to reach the final]." (not sure if those last 4 words are actually needed!)
 * Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Overview:
 * The sentences at start of para 2 are chronologically out of place because they relate to the eventual broadcasting of the event, whereas the rest of para 2 talks about the original schedule, postponement, etc. Should probably move these 4 sentences ("The tournament was primarily broadcast... ...by sports betting company Coral.") to end of section as a separate para?
 * That's kind of true. The broadcasters were set for before the event, and weren't changed, so I don't see an issue. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Quarter-finals:
 * "The first round of the tournament was the quarter-finals..." - can we clarify that this is because there were only 8 entrants, e.g. "The first round of the tournament was held from 20 to 23 June, with matches played as best-of-17-frames over two sessions. As there were just eight competitors at the start of the event, the matches played in this round were effectively the quarter-finals."
 * ...I would, but it's not me who chose to call it the Quarter-finals, this is the round naming as per WST. I think they treat the rankings as their own qualification round. I've had some thoughts recently about how we should treat this in other articles, like the Masters, (and this years world championship), where the RSs use both "round 2", and "last/round of 16". The reason for not changing here, is that there isn't a source about this, it's just that they are denoted as being the quarter-finals.Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "The pair had met earlier in the season..." - sounds like we're talking about Maguire and Ding because of the previous sentence, so might be best to specify "Robertson and Maguire had met earlier in the season..." ?
 * Agreed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Michaela Tabb is rather prominent in the image and even though the caption says 2013 it might look at first glance as if she ref'd this match - there are plenty of other images from that 2013 event to choose from!
 * Sure, I just wanted a nice image of Trump. Fixed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "between reigning world champion Judd Trump and John Higgins" - maybe balance this by mentioning Higgins' rank: "world number five John Higgins"? (but then I suppose we'd have to mention all the other players' world rankings!?) (...but maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing!?)
 * No, we don't need to be super consistent with this, I have added such. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "fifth win in-a-row" > 'in-a-row' doesn't need hyphens but I wonder if "fifth successive win" OR "fifth straight win" would sound better anyway?
 * I prefer the first Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Selby won the next two of the next three frames" > doesn't make sense, and shouldn't this actually be "three of the next four" (as the score jumps from 4–4 to 7–5)
 * Done. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "around the angles" doesn't link to glossary
 * Now links to cocked-hat double. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Semi-finals:
 * Do we need to clarify that the reason Trump and Maguire were the only two contenders for the Coral Cup was because of points accrued up to that point?
 * Is that not implied/obvious? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Final:
 * I don't think we need to mention the year 2020 in the opening sentence (we didn't in the QF and SF sections). I'd suggest rewording this sentence to: "The final was played on 26 June as a best-of-19-frames match over two sessions."
 * Done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't like the use of dashes in the highest break sentence, it looks a bit scrappy. Can't we just use commas: "...Maguire made the highest break of the tournament, a 139, in frame nine." It also might be worth clarifying that he actually won the frame (for the lay person), so "to win frame nine." or "in winning frame nine."
 * Good point - changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Suggested wording change: "Frame 16 was full of safety play" > "Frame 16 was dominated by safety play" ?
 * Done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Maguire's prize breakdown is possibly a bit confusing. He won the Tour Championship title (£150K), the Coral Cup title (£100K) and the highest break prize (£10K), which gives a total of £260K ...but don't forget that back in March he also won the Players Championship prize of £30K, so his total prize haul for the Coral Cup was actually £290K. So should we mention that figure too? Would need to be sourced so it's not considered OR?
 * It's not the prize pool for the Coral Cup we are talking about. The figure is the money he earned by winning/taking part in this event. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Seeding list / Coral Cup:
 * Why are we using miniaturised tables in these two sections? Isn't there a MOS:ACCESS issue here?
 * I have no idea why these were on fontsize=85%... I've removed this. I don't think ACCESS is about that - it's more about screenreaders, etc, but not really suitable. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Should we not link to the three general event articles in first sentence? (World Grand Prix (snooker) / Players Championship (snooker) / Tour Championship (snooker))
 * Added Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "The top ten players with the most prize money won in total over the three events..." - might sound better as "The top ten players with the most prize money accumulated over the three events..." as 'won' is awkward/redundant in this sentence (subtle)
 * I've got a slightly different version of this. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

As for today... Darn that Crucible curse eh? My guess is KW will win the title this year, but here's hoping it will be Selby's fourth! Rodney Baggins (talk) 19:43, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll look at these as soon as I can. I've been a big Maflin fan since his run in with Selby in 2015, so it's been great to see him do so well. I do have Kyren to win it down. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:46, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No Selby's fourth - probably should have been. Wilson will win it one year, but he'll need to tidy up some of his game. O'Sullivan seems like he'll win the tournament without playing well. Thanks for your review, I've commented on the above.Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Lee, I'll have a last look through this and sign it off for you today. Rodney Baggins (talk) 09:29, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I've gone through the article again in a bit more detail. The main thing that's occurred to me is this:
 * It says in the lead: "...on the one-year ranking list at the cut-off date." but there's no explanation of what that means. (1) What exactly do we mean by the "one-year ranking list"? (2) What was the cut-off date? Maybe this needs to be explained in the overview?
 * I've clarified this in the prose (overview). Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I also have a bunch of wording suggestions, listed below. Some of them are probably just down to personal preference but you might pick out some that you agree with. I do want to have a closer look at the sources and then I should be ready to support.


 * Would it be worth adding rough dates for the Gibraltar Open and World Championship in lead, for context, e.g. "...following the Gibraltar Open in March and preceding the World Championship in July/August."
 * To be honest, it seems a little bit overkill. It's not really about this article, and it's more to say where this event took place in the calendar. We do go into depth about where the event was held and postponed etc in the article. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Not keen on the current wording in lead re. postponement, would this make more sense... "...but on the morning of 17 March the event was postponed, following advice from the UK government that no spectators would be permitted at the event because of the COVID-19 pandemic."
 * Changed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Not happy about the order and wording in last para lead. Would it be better to mention Ding dropping out first and then talk about how Maguire got on, to make it read more logically, e.g. "China's Ding Junhui, fifth on the one-year ranking list, was unable to travel to the event because of the COVID-19 situation. His replacement was Stephen Maguire, ranked ninth, who reached the final after defeating Robertson and Judd Trump. His opponent in the final was Mark Allen, who defeated Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby in the two earlier rounds. Maguire won the final 10–6 to claim the sixth ranking title of his career, his first for seven years. In winning the tournament, Maguire also won the Coral Cup."
 * Changed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Overview: Suggest putting "a subsidiary of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association" in brackets?
 * Done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Overview: Should "The Tour Championship was set to take place..." be the start of a new paragraph?
 * I don't think so. The paragraph isn't all that long, and it's still about the organisation of the event Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Slight wording change/clarification: "and moved to the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England." > "and moved to a different venue, the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England."
 * Done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe expand slightly, for context: "...the first being the 2020 Championship League." > "...the first being the Championship League which had taken place earlier the same month."
 * Added Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Link "isolation" to Isolation (health care) at end of Overview? Or is that too healthcare specific?
 * I think it's too much. Isolation generally means on your own in this context, wheras the players were isolated together! Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Quarter-finals: "guaranteed to surpass £1 million in prize money" > would "exceed" be a better word than "surpass"?
 * Indeed Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Semi-finals: "ITV commentator and analyst Stephen Hendry commented..." Could this perhaps be a new paragraph to break the section up a bit?

Oh, and finally, do we know why Allen was promoted to fourth in the world rankings? Was this for getting to the final or just for being runner-up?
 * Source just says promoted to fourth. I think stating either is a little out of remit, in that winning the event he was fourth. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I've done a thorough review of the sources and made a few corrections and added some missing archives. Outstanding problems...

1. There are lots of duplicate refs:

2. Some sources have been updated since they were first added to the article. Do we need to state the updated date to prove that we're citing the updated version of the article?
 * Ref.18 (date has changed from 14 July > 16 July)
 * Ref.20 (date has changed from 14 June > 16 June)
 * Ref.23 (date has changed from 21 June > 22 June)
 * Ref.27 (date has changed from 21 June > 22 June)
 * Ref.28 (date has changed from 22 June > 23 June)

 * The full 2020 calendar (ref.1) will change in due course so it won't provide the historical info we're looking for. We should probably be pointing to the archive and mark the url-status as "unfit"
 * Combined/fixed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:38, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The one-year ranking list (ref.46) is already out of date so we should be pointing to the archive and mark the url-status as "unfit"
 * Fixed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:38, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry - I'd thought I'd already covered these - see above. Thanks for the review. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Support from Hurricane Noah
I just want to say that I am coming here looking for a review for my article, Tropical Storm Vicente (2018). If you would be willing to take a look, that would be fantastic! Noah Talk 14:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)


 * 20 to 26 June 2020 I would prefer if dates like this conform to the style in the infobox. Noah Talk 14:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You mean with endash? Sure, I have changed if it'd be better. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:27, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes... there are a few more of these present throughout. I just like to see all the date ranges consistent. Noah Talk 15:30, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * We always fully spell out the date range in words in the body of the article, as we do in all snooker articles, and reserve the en dash format for infoboxes, tables, etc... "which took place from 2026 June 2020" would disagree with MOS:DATERANGE which states "Use an en dash, or a word such as from or between, but not both: from 1881 to 1886 (not from 1881–1886); between June 1 and July 3 (not between June 1 – July 3)" I've reverted Lee's change accordingly. Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:09, 31 August 2020 (UTC)


 * You should probably give a brief description of what a century break is since it is a technical term. I didn't know that one could not miss a shot, for example. Noah Talk 14:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * We do link to our article on both century break as well as . I realise it's a reletavely jargonish term, but it's a break of over 100. I have reworded slightly.


 * Given the rather extensive reviewing above, I could not find a lot of issues to comment on. Noah Talk 14:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Hope the above works for you, I'll take a look at your article in a mo . Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:27, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
