FN51 is tagged as a permanent dead link. For GA that's OK but you may want to replace it anyway.
"An audience of 3.93 million viewers watched the final session in Great Britain with 2.03 million watching the third session of the final": confusingly different uses of "final"; I had to read this a couple of times. I think this means 3.93 million viewers watched the final session of the final.
"The event was organised by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association." I was going to suggest "The 2011 event was..." but presumably the WPBSA has organized it for years? So perhaps add that to the previous sentence?
"This was the first time six century breaks had been made in a match at the event, and for a best of 25 frames match": what does the second part of this mean? Does it mean it's the first time six century breaks had been made in a 25 frames match at any event? If so I'd clarify.
The qualifying rounds surprised me -- looks like new players joined at each qualifying round, presumably based on their ranking? Could we add a brief explanation of how these rounds worked?
Earwig is clean; the match it shows is to a mirror. Spotchecks:
FN 26 cites "The first round was played from 16 to 21 April as the best of 19 frames held over two sessions": technically this is a problem because this shows the planned format, not what actually happened. I'm not going to treat this as a failed verification on that basis but a cite after the event would be better. However, I don't see where it states that the first round was specifically those dates -- am I missing something?
Yeah, that would be nice. I think you are missing that the dates cover which matches are played on what dates (on the second page). Matches 1-16 (the first round) are all between 16-21. Lee Vilenski(

FN 11 cites "In 1927, the first world championship was won by Joe Davis. The event's final took place in Camkin's Hall, Birmingham, England": verified.
