Rule of the Week Question

After chasing down a shot I return a lob that hits off the light fixture before landing on my opponent's side of the court. My opponent makes no attempt at the ball claiming that my shot should be considered out. My argument is that the lights are a permanent fixture that are a part of the court like the net. Who is right?

Answer

Your opponent is. The only parts of the court considered permanent fixtures are the net, posts, singles sticks and cords.
