World Professional Match-play Championship (snooker)[edit]
The World Professional Match-play Championship was a professional snooker tournament established in 1952 as an alternative to the professional World Snooker Championship by some of the professional players, following a dispute with the sport's governing body. Fred Davis won the first five editions of the tournament, but didn't participate in 1957, when John Pulman won. After this, the event was discontinued due to a decline in the popularity of snooker. A tournament with the same name was staged in 1976. The events from 1952 to 1957 are now regarded as editions of the world snooker championships, but the 1976 one is not.

- Yes, apologies! I'm talking with the maker of the promotion bot, and hopefully we'll get it figured out; if not, I'll just process the promotion manually later today. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 12:23, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Bot maintainer here. The ping (which is how the bot is summoned) didn't go through. Perhaps because this edit also touched a line above the promote template. Will try again. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
