Ok so I started playing recently and competed in a local tournament last weekend. I was playing in D and really wanted to get a feel for how things worked. In my second match I played a kid and his dad was reffing. I won the first game and he won the second. During the tie breaker I aced a drive serve and out of frustration he hit the ball after it had clearly bounced twice. I moved my head but still got hit with the ball in the ear full speed. I called a timeout and his dad moderately scolded him for hitting me. My ear rang for the rest of the game and I lost the tie breaker. He went on to win the D bracket.
His dad was a well seasoned open player so I assumed he knew the rules better than me. I know all the basic rules but have no knowledge of fouls in special cases. Should he have been disqualified? Or a penalty or something? I feel kind of cheated. I really enjoyed the tournament as a whole but would not rate my experience as a good one
