Lugnuts: Fixtures are now out. I think the page should be retitled the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy (not redirected) as this will very much not be the 'County Championship'. Retain the infobox with links to the previous and next editions, but needs to be clear that, while this is a first-class tournament, it is not the County Championship.

There remains an incorrect statement about the Lancashire vs Leicestershire fixture. This was moved to Worcester because Lancs could not host due to the concentration of international cricket being played in Manchester. The same applies to what is going on in Southampton meaning Hants are using Arundel as a home ground. Yes, connected to the coronavirus situation but not actually because any venues are off limits.
Leicestershire's opening Bob Willis Trophy game with Lancashire has been moved to Worcester's New Road.
Restrictions are still in place in the city of Leicester following a local spike in coronavirus cases.
Grace Road, the original scheduled venue, had passed all of the safety measures but the decision was taken to move to a neutral venue - and Lancashire will now be the hosts.
Leicestershire are still scheduled to play three red-ball games in Leicester.
They have home matches against Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, starting on 8 and 22 August respectively, while their away match against Durham, starting on 15 August, has now been moved from Chester-le-Street to Grace Road.
Lancashire's two home games against Nottinghamshire (15-18 August) and Derbyshire (6-9 September) are at Old Trafford and Liverpool respectively.
So, err, no, not quite. By all means add the section and say what's actually happened by all means, but actually read the two sources cited and use that information and then add to it.

South Group final standings
There seems to be a discrepancy about the 5th and 6th positions in the South Group, where Surrey and Sussex both scored 36 points.
BBC put Surrey ahead of Sussex, but
Cricinfo put Sussex ahead of Surrey. How should we resolve this? It's not clear what the tie breaker criteria are for this tournament.

I would go with the ECB reference. It looks as though Cricinfo have used NRR, but there are no criteria listed. It could be ECB and BBC have used nothing more meaningful than alphabetical order?

If two group winners finish on equal points, the following tie-breakers will come into play. In this order: most wins, fewest losses, the result between the sides in the group stage, most wickets taken, most runs scored.
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Bob Willis Trophy →
2020 Bob Willis Trophy – As the Bob Willis Trophy is
taking place again this year (under a new format) this should probably be a general page for the Bob Willis Trophy as a whole, with separate pages for the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy and 2021 Bob Willis Trophy. Alternatively as this year's trophy is just a single game it could go on the
2021 County Championship page, but I think this page should still specify 2020 for better disambiguation (and 2021 can redirect to the CC page).

Support 2020 is the article most people will be looking for, but it's true that the final this year is also being called Bob Willis Trophy. Whilst we might not need a
2021 Bob Willis Trophy separate article, the fact there's more than one occurrence means that adding 2020 to the article name is needed to avoid ambiguity. Not sure a "general" Bob Willis Trophy page is necessary, as it's 2 very different tournaments with the same name, so maybe
dab page is sufficient.

Support the renaming of this article. Apparently (
ECB page) it hasn't yet been decided what will happen in 2022 and onwards, so it's not yet clear whether there should be a separate article for the BW Trophy generally, but in the meantime it makes sense to add the year to this article.
