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)[reply]

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)[reply]
  - Why were 17 through 28 unseeded? --Usernameunique (talk) 17:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - 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)[reply]

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)[reply]
A 64 finish — What's this?
- Clarified MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
both missed landing darts in their targets — What's a landing dart?
- Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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?

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)[reply]
  - 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)[reply]
    - Changed the wording to something new MWright96 (talk) 18:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Semi-finals

in the first eighteen held — What does "held" mean?
- Changed the wording MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
responded to Lloyd's challenge — What was "Lloyd's challenge"?
- Reworded MWright96 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
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?

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
