Times[edit]

Dates and times of session are not necessary in the draw in my opinion and it also damages the view of that draw. TheLightBlue (talk) 17:09, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it doesn't mean you can revert it yet. Socialhistorian2013 (talk) 22:41, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Skip the allegations of socking in your edit summary. It's unsupported and a bit off-putting coming from a relatively new account.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:02, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that dates, and even more so times, are not necessary, and overall makes the draw more confusing to look at. Finn Rindahl (talk) 00:14, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that the addition of the times is intrusive and makes this table almost unreadable. It's a score sheet, and once the tournament is over the session times are completely unnecessary. None of the previous years have session times (see 2012_World_Snooker_Championship#Main_draw). However, I will suggest a compromise for those who find the information useful, by using a hoverbox similar to what has been initiated at Snooker.org, where you can hover over the date and it gives you the times. I have set up at similar system at Semi-final example, where the times appear if you move your cursor over the semi-final dates. Would this be a reasonable compromise for people? Betty Logan (talk) 09:25, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I rather we didn't include times at all, but I can go along with Vettys proposal for the sake of peace ;) Finn Rindahl (talk) 10:25, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Having times/dates is pretty stupid in my view.Nigej 15:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
    • OK, so 24 hours and 4 have spoken against, nobody in favour. I'd say that's clear enough to remove it. Finn Rindahl (talk) 17:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If we are going to close this are you wanting Betty's compromise (which looks good, just as a throw away comment)? Or the dates with no session times? Or no dates at all? Because from reading this 2 people have said yes to dates and two people no to dates and times, so Finnrind I do not see a consensus. I only see a consensus for no times in the article. Socialhistorian2013 (talk) 18:46, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the dates can remain (because they don't damage the draw) and the Betty Logan proposal could be introduced.TheLightBlue (talk) 18:55, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for being unclear, I meant consensus for removing the times. Betty's compromise is fine with me. Finn Rindahl (talk) 19:37, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regular reader of the snooker pages, and I have to say that the dates and times make the draw look pretty sloppy. I wouldn't be against leaving the dates in, but I think that the times are just information overload and unnecessary. What extra information does (10.00am, 2.30pm) add to the page? Don't see how it's useful. EDIT: Betty's suggestion's a good one, if someone wants to do it, then have fun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.7.186.113 (talk) 16:02, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've done it. TheLightBlue (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Looks really good, and really useful to know who's on which table in each session - is there any way we could enhance it by adding either the ref of each game or the score after each session or both to the times when you move your cursor across? 109.157.230.129 (talk) 15:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Everything could be added, but that's additional work to do :) TheLightBlue (talk) 17:12, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It looks miles better! Betty Logan (talk) 13:14, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seedings[edit]

Why has Ronnie O'Sullivan's seeding changed to number 1 during this competition? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.29.101 (talk) 19:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The defending champion is always seeded #1. The world champion is seeded #2 (except obviously at the world championship when they are one and the same). Seedings after that are done according to the rankings i.e. World number 1 Mark Selby is seeded #2 etc. Betty Logan (talk) 20:53, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Second Round[edit]

Why has "Poomjaeng lost the fourth frame of the match after three failed attempts to hit visible red balls whilst using the spider to bridge over the blue" been editied to remove the referrence to him clapping and Whooping to rouse himself? That was a defining momemnt in the second round? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.203.89.177 (talk) 08:25, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because the reference only mentions him clapping and not wanting to leave the arena. It didn't say anything about " whooped in an attempt to rouse himself for the frames after the mid-session interval." Armbrust The Homunculus 09:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
