### Lead
"The event was held at the Mountbatten Centre in Newport, Wales from 22 to 27 August 2006." - AZBilliards says it was the Newport Centre in Newport, Wales. The same issue exists in the infobox

### Format
"The 2006 World Cup of Pool was a pairs nine-ball tournament played at Newport Centre in Newport, Wales.[1]" - don't think the citation is needed at the end of this sentence since it is bunched up at the end of the following sentence

### Teams
Consider adding information about which teams were seeded for the tournament in this section

### Tournament bracket
I believe Reference 5 can also be used in this section to verify both the format and the seeds


### References
Also Sport, Matchroom and Release, Press are not authors and should be removed
Should the "z" in "AzBilliards" be captialised?
The site itself uses AzBilliards. Such as at its facebook page. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:19, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 12:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

I've made the above changes MWright96. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
@Lee Vilenski: Can still see the lack of information on the semi-final match between the Phillipines and Germany and the inappropriate use of Sport, Matchroom and Release, Press being written into the last= and first= fields of several references. MWright96 (talk) 17:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
So, every other article about the first semifinal is now dead (with no archive). Not really sure what I can do. I've added the score to the section (and fixed the ref issues), but without a suitable ref, I can't expand the first semi-final.
Ah, IPM to the rescue, should be fixed now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
@Lee Vilenski: Now promoting to GA class. I've added some missing details to some of the references and had to remove one that had a archive url that was linked to something else although the IPM source did verify all the information in the first-semi-final match.
