Thanks to all of you, and also, I think it's kind of cool how much agreement there is. For some reason I expected more polite disagrteement, like on a block/charge problem. But it feels good to know exactly what everyone would do. I can take that certainty to the bank!

I hadn't thought of it quite this way! but it makes sense and is re-assuring.

Also, if you don't have a cell phone get one. When bozos like this wait around for you in the parking lot call the police. If you're alone or feel threatened go back into the gym for an escort. Otherwise go to your car & get out of there. In addition, make sure that you know who is responsible for game security before the game starts. If there's not a "security" person there then identify the tournament or league director orsomeone else responsible for the game & your safety.
I didn't handle this part very well last time. I was busy thinking about other things, and hadn't really considered the possibilities. Believe me, THAT won't happen again! Actually my partner was probably in more danger than I was. He was taking more of the verbal abuse, and actually may not have been as physically fit as me.

I do have a cell phone now and I'm not afraid to use it!

Thanks again to ecveryone.
