Lead

• O'Sullivan made the highest break of the competition of 134 in his semi-final victory over Williams. — This doesn't appear to be in the body of the article.
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Background

• one of the first of the season. — traditionally one of the first of the season, or it just happened to be one of the first in 2001–02?
  • Removed MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
• Any player who withdrew would be replaced by a reserve — How were reserves determined?
  • There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
• Perhaps add in the first sentence that one spot was filled via a qualifying competition.
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
• John Higgins, Scotland's highest-ranked player — Suggest "John Higgins, Scotland's highest-ranked player and the world's number ##"

• By the time I got to "Round 1" I still had no idea who the players were, who was favored, etc. Perhaps the players who qualified by being in the top 8 could be listed somewhere along with their ranking, and the seeds for the tournament bracket could be added?
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
    • John Higgins and Mark Williams are both listed as three seeds. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:42, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Prize fund

• Highest break (×1): £5,000 — What does the "×1" mean?
  • It means that one person could earn the prize monies available
    • Which source is used for the highest break amount? --Usernameunique (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
      • RTE Sport MWright96 (talk) 10:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
• Total: £200,000 — Did all 12 players win some of this?
  • Yes, but am unable to find other amounts MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Round 1

• ranking event winner — What's a ranking event?
  • Added wikilink MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
• Frank Callan — Who's this, just a random coach? Worth a red link?
  • Clarified and no red link would be appropriate MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Semi-finals

• Williams was required to pot the pink ball from a long distance to tie the match at 2–2; it was left on the edge of a top corner pocket. — This probably belongs before the sentence about who won.
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Final

• It was the first time since the 2000 Grand Prix that O'Sullivan had been defeated in a tournament final. — How many tournaments ago was that?
  • Added months instead MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
• Any word on when Higgins's child was born?
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Qualifying

• Is there enough in the sources to add information about the matches that goes beyond the bracket?
  • Not particularly and it's not the standard in WikiProject Snooker to add every detail about a tournament's qualifying matches, except for maximum breaks or unusual events. MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Overall
