Lead

Taylor made a nine-dart finish in the fifth leg of his quarter-final match against Mason, the first time the achievement had been broadcast live in the United Kingdom. — Is this correct? This article suggests one in 1984 and another in 1990. This information is correct. The previous two nine-dart finishes were broadcast on television in highlights form after they had been made MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Background

• with the top 16 seeded according to their final position in the PDC rankings — What about 17 through 28?
  • Clarified MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Why were 17 through 28 unseeded? --Usernameunique (talk) 17:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
      • I read a source from the time and it is not clear on this subject and have reworded the sentence. MWright96 (talk) 18:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Round 1

The draw for the first round — How were seeds determined? There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) A 64 finish — What's this? Clarified MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) both missed landing darts in their targets — What's a landing dart? Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) Mason failed to compile a nine-dart finish because he missed the triple 19 inner ring. — On which dart (e.g., on the ninth dart)? Clarified MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) World number eight Colin Lloyd came from 4–7 behind Mick Manning to claim seven legs in succession and win 10–7 — Wouldn't that be six legs in succession? Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) a three-dart average of more than 100 — May as well actually say what the average was, given that you have done so every other time it is mentioned. Removed since it is trivial information MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Round 2

• A checkout of 123 gave Painter a 3–2 deficit — So Painter was down 3–1, then won with a checkout of 123, and was thus down 3–2?

• What's a strike rate?
  • Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
• His 8–2 lead was reduced to two legs by Askew before the former reestablished a six-set advantage at 11–5. — If it was reduced to 2 legs, wouldn't Askew have at least 6 points?
  • Changed wording MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
    • The new wording only makes the error more explicit: "8–2 to 8–6 by before the latter reestablished a six-set advantage at 11–5". As worded, it says that Askew lost a point, going from 6 to 5. --*Usernameunique (talk) 17:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Quarter-finals

Is it worth adding what the point total of each dart in the nine-dart finish was? Added MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) 11–11 until Lowe claimed another three legs to be within two of victory. Baxter claimed two more legs until Lowe took three in succession to win. — So it was 11–11, then 14–11, then 14–13, then 17–13? Don't you only need 16 to win? Changed MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Semi-finals

in the first eighteen held — What does "held" mean? Changed the wording MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) responded to Lloyd's challenge — What was "Lloyd's challenge"? Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) Missed throws for Taylor and Lowe attaining high scores meant they were equally matched in competitiveness. — Wouldn't Taylor making errors and Lowe performing well mean that Lowe won decisively? Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Prize fund

9 Dart Checkout ... Highest checkout: £0 — Is the inconsistency in capitalization (Checkout/checkout) intentional? And is there a point of listing the highest checkout as a prize category, if it didn't pay anything? Did it only not pay anything because there was a nine-dart finish? Done MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) Total: £75,500 — Does this intentionally omit the £100,000 for the nine-dart finish? Yes because the nine-dart finish is not included in the total prize money fund.MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
