Hi Kumar,

I think this depends a little on the context and what information you want the information to convey. Ostensibly for a headline you don’t need anything connecting the date (e.g. Tournament X in France June 1), though that’s optional, you could use ‘to begin’, or the present simple ‘begins’. If you’re leaving out the date itself as not important then I don’t see why you couldn’t simply have “Tournament X in France”, but if it’s important that it hasn’t begun yet then it might be worth including that some way (alternatives to the date would be a verb showing it is still to come, e.g. ‘coming to France’ or ‘to begin/open/start’ as suggested, or descriptors like ‘Upcoming Tournament X in France’). It’s all dependent on how you want to present/summarise the information of the article…

This will depend entirely on the publication really; it’s a choice of how formal you want the article to be. Less formal publications may use contractions, while more formal ones won’t. So in theory it can be okay to use them, but it depends on the chosen style.

Sure, what would you like to know about numbers? It’s generally just the case to simplify them, i.e. numerals instead of writing them out.
For 2, and this goes for all the rules really, it’s not a hard rule, more a case to remove articles where possible, so it can be okay to keep it depending on your style. But this could be clipped as with the other examples, “average more than 2000 people” / “average over 2000 people” (or reversed to be a little clearer, perhaps, “over 2000 people average”).

You’re welcome!

Glad to help!
