I still remember it, it's almost as it happened yesterday. I did move the bead before you checked the balls, and before I raked the balls, but as you wrote, it all happened very fast.
As I wrote in my first post, there is only one person to blame for what happened, and that's me.
It still hurts though, even 2 years after, because I played good against a Champion and it would have been hill-hill and my break. The odds are of course huge that you would have destroyed me anyway in that last game, but it would have been a lot better way losing than how it all happened
Like I've said in other threads, you were a gentleman all the way, and I still remember your face when we noticed the coin after I finished racking. You were just as surprised as me, and neither of us had any idea what to do.
This was the second match that I played that Niels Feijen were sweating, and we were discussing it afterwards, and we both agreed that it was my mistake, and that we need to be careful when it comes to counting balls and errors.
I think that's the lesson learned from this match, to always count balls and fouls.
Looking forward to our rematch in a future DCC, John, and good luck this year! Make it 3 in a row!!!
Oh, and congrats again with the Hall of Fame
