Has anyone here ever play a cheater in a league or club match, something that mattered besides a friendly game? How did you handle it?

Thursday nights my club has a round robin tournament, it's a great way of moving up in ranks and being competitive. Tonight I played someone named Le for the second time on a round robin thursday. Le is well known for screwing up the score in his favor, and once even took a whole game away from someone to keep from losing. I played him last week and pretty much yelled the score every point, making sure he nodded his head and agreed before continuing, I wanted to make sure he didn't try to cheat. Well this week I figured he got the hint that I would be paying extra attention, so I wasn't so blatantly distrusting.

Wrong move. In the first game I was up 8 to 5, and decided to back off and defend his smash, I wanted to know how good it was in case I needed to defend it later. Well my plan was to let him match me, but when he won a point at 8 to 7 me, somehow the score got flipped around and he said it was 9 to 7 him. I stared him straight in the eyes and said stop cheating, it's 8 to 8. He denied it. I told him that it was 8 to 8 but that we would make it 7 to 7 to be fair, and I would announce every point from then on. He refused.

So I took it up with the guy that scores all the match outcomes, and he asked an official USATT ref that's a friend of his to settle this. He said that we'd start at 7 to 7 and he would ref as strictly as he would a usatt event. I then went on to smash the crap outta this guy 3 games in a row, no mercy no defense, pure attack. I dislike cheaters, especially in a gentleman's sport at a club where everyone is friends for the most part. I'll never play his guy again, I'd rather forfeit if we can't get someone to ref. Share your stories.
