Lead

• The sole mention of the term frame can be wikilinked to the relevant article

• Linked: "19 frames to 14 in the final." BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:28, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Background

• "the BACC decided to abandon the challenge system that had been used for both the Billiards Championship and for the Professional Snooker Championship." - employed for both the Billiards Championship and the Professional Snooker Championship.
• Wikilink the term frame to the relevant article only on the first mention
• "For matches before the final," - how about For pre-final matches, instead?

• All done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:38, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Summary=

• "Lawrence and Mann had to play a first round match, the winner to meet Davis." - with the winner

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

• "over six days than the three envisaged when the tournament's conditions were announced." - why was this the case?

• Amended. The source has a note "(evening sessions only being played, so that the game occupied six days instead of three)" but no reason as to why the change was made. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

• Wikilink the term session to the relevant article only on the first mention

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

• Wikilink the term potting to the articles for its first mention

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

• "Mann when attempting to pot the yellow instead of playing for a snoooker in the deciding frame lost him the match." - the word in bold contains a spelling error

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

• "maintaining a four-frame advantage at 9–7 after two days." - shouldn't that be two-frame

• Yes. Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Final

• "The final was played from 4 March to 7 March and was over 33 frames." - The 33-frame final was played from 4 to 7 March.
• The term frame can be wikilinked to the relevant article only on the first mention
• Wikilink foul stroke to the relevant article for non-Snooker readers
• "Dennis won the 15th frame by six points, after clearing the last three colours, and added the 16th frame, during which he escaped from a snooker with a massé shot, and potted the pink after Davis had gone in-off." - run-on sentence
• "Davis lost the first frame by one point, 56-57," - hyphen should be replaced by an en dash per MOS:DASH
• "and the over break of over 50 made during the tournament." - repetition of "over"

• All addressed. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:35, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Schedule

• A table header will need to be added to the table which needs to be fully referenced

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

References

• I believe References 3, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 26 and all the BNA ones in page 30 need their page numbers included

• Page numbers added. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Am placing the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/query the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 14:44, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
