Lead

• John Higgins won the competition, defeating the world number seven Peter Ebdon — What was Higgins ranked at the time?
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
• The competition followed the season's third invitational event, the 2002 Masters. — This probably belongs in the first paragraph, with the part about the "the fourth and final World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) invitational event of the 2001–02 season"

Background

• What's a challenge match?
  • Added wikilnk MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
• How are the "final positions" of the world rankings different than the rankings that were just discussed?
  • Reworded MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
• How was the wild card determined?
  • There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Quarter-finals

• he ... forced re-spotted black — Is this phrasing correct?
  • Changed MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
• His victory saw him produce breaks of 68, 66 and 120 and accumulated 358 points without reply — "and accumulate"?
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
• Does "kick" mean "cling" in this context? The link (kick) says it is a "kick shot," or a "cling"; a "kick shot" seems to be an intended (but complicated) shot, while a "cling" seems to be necessarily undesirable.
  • No it does not MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Then what does it mean? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:01, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
      • I misread the earlier statement yes it does mean Kick in British English MWright96 (talk) 20:06, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Final

• This was Higgins' 38th professional tournament final — How many of those did he win?
  • Removed MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
• Higgins on his fourth title of the season — Something's off here.

Main draw

• Perhaps add the seeds?

Scoreline of the final

• Any particular reason you have the scoreline of the final, but not the semi-finals, quarters, etc.?
  • It is the standard across snooker articles to add the scoreline of the final since it is the most important match of a tournament
• I don't suppose there's an article which says how to read a snooker scoreline (e.g., Box score (baseball))?
  • No there is not MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
