The spotter appears to be under heavy fire.
Takes a guy with a certain size pair just
to get in the box live against Niels.
I have only watched an hour.
Looks like the kid can hold his own
with the spot.
still watching and listening?
The champ just showed his character re: cue ball fouls only".
They stated they are playing CB fouls only.
Spotted plays shot, makes it and touches CB with stick.
Niels reluctantly begins to inform spotted that since the moved ball would have impacted the CB path had it not moved, needs to be a foul.
Guy responds the cb passed prior to errant moving of ball.
Niels says spotted should continue shooting.
No fuss. Rack 'em.
Niels is the man.
Reminds me of a funny story.
This is now 4th hand information and happened
almost 30 years ago. I'm probably butchering it.
Someone here might recognize it and fill in the blanks.
Player A and Player B hit the road to play a tournament
together. Both good players. They both play well and
make it to the finals. Match goes hill/ hill with Player
B running out. A shot comes up where 2 balls are close
but it is obvious it is no problem. Player B shoots it clean
and is headed to the next shot. Player A jumps up and
says FOUL, you hit the other ball first. Player B is sure
he hit it clean but they are friends, why would he say that
if it's not true. Player B conceded to Player A and gave
him b.i.h. Player A finishes the rack and the tournament.
On the ride home Player A is driving and Player B says, man I can't believe that foul. I was sure I hit it clean.
Player A says I had to do something you were going
to win.
Now, do you want to make a living playing pool?
Do you want to win as bad as Player A?
We were having a conversation about will
to win and competitiveness. I'll never forget that one.
I had te sound off but would gladly accept a plane ride to the Netherlands to figure it out for us.
Room looked small too. I know the spotted was removing his extension to shoot from rail(s?)...anybody hear any cues tapping wall on backswing?
Glad to see niels chose gold crown!
