GeoGiant, you acted exactly how I probably would have done. Some people train to tap each other, other people train to fight. Just shows how unlike a real martial art sports/points competitions are getting. Its always good to test yourself, but from I can see the tappy-tappy tournament people were playing a different game than you were, maybe worth trying a different kind of points-sparring like has been suggested. Or just enjoy training. Either way I definitely don't think you should feel too bad about any of it. Just chalk it up to experience.
