During the Players Championship 24 Florian Hempel lost his temper and showed bad sportsmanship. This happened during his game with Jimmy van Schie and this is shown in the footage below.

It happened during the deciding leg in his match against Jimmy van Schie, and this moment was captured on camera and can be viewed in this footage.
The Dutchman managed to completely take away the belief of the German with an excellent final leg, after which the latter could no longer control his frustration. This expression of frustration may lead to the DRA being called in to decide whether a warning will suffice or if a fine will follow.
With a 10-darter for the win, Jimmy van Schie once again managed to shine during this edition of the Players Championship. However, after the tournament, most eyes were focused on another compatriot of his.
Wessel Nijman claimed the day’s victory by defeating Stephen Bunting in the final. In the decisive match, he came out on top with an 8-5 win. Earlier, he had already won the semi-final against the in-form Gary Anderson. Nijman won 7-5 against The Flying Scotsman.
To reach the final, it was The Bullet who won the semi-final against Luke Littler 7-6, who in turn had won his quarter-final against another Dutchman. Martijn Dragt made it to the quarter-finals but lost 6-3 to the 17-year-old Littler.
On Wednesday, the Players Championship 25 is scheduled, followed by the Players Championship 26 on Thursday, both of which will be played in Wigan.
