Results seem to be a mystery. The Radio Times makes occasional comments. For the final it says that both Charlton and Reardon had each won 4 out of their 6 matches. It says (14 June) that Williams won 2 of his 3 matches in the first stage, (21 June) that both Charlton and Reardon also won 2 of their 3 matches in the first stage. Also (10 May) that Charlton won his first match in the first stage and (3 May) that Spencer lost his first match (confirming the 10 May comment).

http://cuetracker.net/tournaments/pot-black/1972/907 seems to be wrong in that it has Reardon winning only 1 match in the round-robin when it appears that he won 2 (4-2). Perhaps the William/Reardon result is wrong but there are other, more-complex, possibilities.

CueTracker has only 5 results for the first stage, perhaps indicating that only these 5 are known, the other 4 being unknown.Let's assume that CueTracker results for the first stage are correct (not at all certain). It has Spencer winning 1 match and qualifying. Since The Radio Times says that Williams, Charlton and Reardon each won 2 then Pulman and Davis must have won 1 each - total must add to 9 but neither Pulman or Davis can have won 2. So Williams beat Reardon, Pulman beat Williams, Davis beat Charlton and Charlton beat Pulman.
