QPQ: Done.

Overall: I'd sign off on the first hook, however, 4-1 doesn't really explain very much. This should mention that the winner needed 9 frames to win, I do think this is the most notable part of the tournament, so should be used. ALT1 is too wordy. Ignore that it was after the midsession interval. ALT2 seems fine, however.

• @Lee Vilenski: Have reworded both the first and second hooks per your suggestion. MWright96 (talk) 09:19, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
