Lesson to learn for all.

If the player doesn't leave after the initial instruction to do so, give the HC or GM a timed chance to have him removed. If there is no complying, it's a forfeit.

And if an object is thrown at you, go swear out a warrant on the player.

I am not taking an ass whoopin from a kid. Sorry, not happening. I will take my chances in court. And in that sport many think fighting is the way to go to show your distain.

There are a lot of follow up questions here, as to what constitutes an escort, or illegal physical contact, or what an official can(not) do, or if a kid attacking an official gives the official a greater right to be physical with the kid. (It sure works that way with police officers.)
