Numbering of rounds

[edit]

I know this is how the WST names them on their website but it goes against the conventions of other flat 128 tournaments with a qualifying round; I think the first round after the qualifying round should be Round 1 and then it goes from there, not Round 2 as it's currently being called. If not, the qualifying round is also the implicit Round 1 which is kind of confusing when it's just called the qualifying round everywhere else.

Trouble is that both our major sources (WST and snooker.org) use these numbers. We have to follow the sources.  Alan  (talk) 06:56, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
...and I've just added some clarification which should avoid any confusion.  Alan  (talk) 07:14, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris-schannes: If you look at the citation I just added to the "Round 4" sub-section, you'll see it's called "Fourth round draw", so it would be more confusing if the sub-section was called "Round 3".  Alan  (talk) 10:21, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
