Talk:2024 Champion of Champions

A few questions, references, qualification, broadcasters

As is the case too often, unfortunately, WST and the tournament organizers have made finding out accurate and reliable information quite difficult. So I have a few questions, maybe agreed upon by consensus in this community.

• Do we know which tournaments were actually in play for qualification? Can we find a more reliable source, like the actual list in a pdf file we had last year? For instance, I'm convinced that the ranking Saudi event, at the very least, and maybe even the non-ranking Riyadh Season Masters, would count as qualification. Obviously, both were won by players already qualified, so it's hard to know but as I said, a more definitive answer would be appreciated. And they're not currently listed in the qualification table.
• Taking a look at the published list of broadcasters, some of them are quite vague as to the national availability, so I had to make educated guesses when editing that section. For example, the source lists Sportklub as being the broadcaster for Croatia and Ex-Yugo. Do we have a more concrete list for that? Same with Viasat as broadcaster for Scandinavia. I took that to mean as Denmark, Norway and Sweden but maybe that also includes Finland? Maybe someone from these countries has more definitive answers and sources for that.
• Most of our references are news published by the official tournament website, whose copy got copied word-for-word by WST and written up as an article of their own on their website. Should we always include both references in this instance? Seems redundant. And if we were to reduce it to just one of them, which one would be preferred?

Okay since there has been no input from anyone else, I've just decided to get rid of most of the references that were sourced from the official website, at least where there was a duplicate on WST. WST just seems like the more stable and reliable website (although not by a lot). If someone wants to reverse that, be my guest, but it does get messy with the references.

Sorry - missed this. I think what you have done is fine, and the refs can be sorted out properly once the tournament is over.  Alan  (talk) 09:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
