who won

[moonowl]

my opponent was 3 points in front and on the black and he missed the black and the cue ball went in the pocket . i said you have lost the game but he said no your just 4 points in front which i think was wrong , i thought he forfits the game because of this .am i right ?

You won. You can only score once on the black.

Yes, you're right - a foul on the black ends the frame (assuming the scores aren't tied as a result).

4. End of Frame, Game or Match
(a) When only the Black is left, the first score or foul ends the frame excepting only if the following conditions both apply:
(i) the scores are then equal, and
(ii) aggregate scores are not relevant.
(b) When both conditions in (a) above apply
(i) the Black is spotted,
(ii) the players draw lots for choice of playing
(iii) the next player plays from in-hand, and
(iv) the next score or foul ends the frame.
(c) When aggregate scores determine the winner of a game or match, and the aggregate scores are equal at the end of the last frame, the players in that frame shall follow the procedure for a re-spotted Black set out in (b) above.
