Hi Ken,
What you described is a point to the receiver. As soon as the server throws the ball up, the ball is in play and must be hit otherwise it is a fault. This is different from Tennis.
Did you have this one right?

Wow, I didn't know that!
So if you mess up your serve toss and catch the ball without even trying to swing your racquet, you lose the point?!!? Interesting...I find this rule is usually not enforced (unless you actually swing at the ball) in local clubs...I guess people just assume it's the same as tennis.
