Talk:1933 World Snooker Championship

What was the final score?

Although the "winning score" was 25–18, there were five dead frames played after Davis won the match, so what was the actual final score? That's the score that should be given in the infobox, to be consistent with the other championships (1929, 1932, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938), etc. I can't look it up myself because the sources all require subscription so don't really help me much.

My recollection is that when I looked a few years ago it wasn't specified. Will check again. Nigej (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes still the same. Most of the papers the following day only talk about the four frames in the afternoon session. The exception is the local weekly paper "Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald" which adds "The players met in five games during the evening prior to the presentation of the trophy by the Major of Chesterfield ..." but gives no details.

Ok, thanks for looking. We'll have to leave it how it is then. Rodney Baggins (talk) 21:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

The Billiard Player report makes no mention of dead frames either. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:32, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in 1933 World Snooker Championship

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1933 World Snooker Championship's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:57, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Background

• "with a five-guineas" - don't think the hyphen is needed here

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:40, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Summary

• "Leigh won the first frame after Donaldson went in-off when potting the final black ball, and added the second after clearing from the brown to the black, then moving into a 4–0 lead." - run-on sentence
• For the above text, the term black should be wikilinked to the relevant article
• "Donaldson took the first frame," - think there are some words missing from this portion of text
• "and each won two frames in the morning session" - each player or each competitor
• Wikilink the term frame to the appropriate article only on the first mention
• "Smith won the first frame of the third day to win the match 13–4." - repetition of "wo(i)n"
• The term clearance can be wikilinked to the correct article for non-snooker readers
• "He then won the first two in the evening to win 13–1," - a word is missing here; also Davis then claimed
• "Davis then won four of the five in the evening to extend his lead to 22–17." - a word missing from this sentence
• "Davis won all four afternoon frames on the first day but Smith won three in the evening to leave Davis 5–3 ahead." repetition of "wo(i)n"
• "He then won the next to lead 24–17 and, although Smith won the third, Davis won the last in the afternoon to take the match 25–18 and win the title for the seventh time." - some missing words in this sentence

• Amendments made. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:04, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Schedule

• Think the two references can be placed on the table header instead on the right hand side of the table

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:41, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
