Possible Freeway delays - San Diego
It has come to our attention that the freeway from San Diego may be closed around the Pico Ave. (San Clemente/Dana Point) area. Please be sure to check your route and give your self enough time to get to the tournament on time.
OC I-5 South County Hello Mr. McCloskey, The contractor on this project is preparing to begin construction of the second half of the I-5 bridge over Avenida Pico next month. In anticipation of that, crews must shift northbound traffic lanes to the recently constructed bridge and freeway lanes.
The shift is scheduled to take place over 14 hours, beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4. The work requires reducing the northbound freeway to one lane at Avenida Pico, and closing the Pico on- and off-ramp from northbound I-5.
By 6 a.m. Nov. 5, two northbound lanes are expected to be open. Still, Caltrans is urging motorists to avoid the area from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 5, as that is expected to be the period of highest traffic volume.
Motorists should expect congestion and allow extra time for their travels. Caltrans expects the congestion to be at its highest toward mid-morning.

SPECTATOR POLICY
ATTENTION ALL SPECTATORS (INCLUDES PARENTS, COACHES, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, ETC.) In an effort to promote a more enjoyable and fair experience for all, the following policy is in immediate force and effect, and shall be diligently and stringently enforced. USTA Southern California (SCTA) has implemented a “ZERO TOLERANCE” policy for improper behavior.
1. Any attempt by a spectator to speak to an official regarding a line call or other ruling during match play shall be cause for immediate removal from the playing area and, if warranted, from the premises.
2. Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable towards a player, other spectator or staff member shall be cause for immediate removal from the playing area or the entire premises. If said behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during or after a tournament, it shall result in an automatic and immediate suspension of that spectator’s right to attend USTA Southern California tournaments, for a period of time to be determined by the USTA Southern California Grievance and Sportsmanship Committee.
3. Refusal to adhere to a removal request shall trigger immediate enforcement of the point penalty system against the player with whom the spectator is involved (per point penalty system regulations), including possible immediate default.
4. The On-Site Official is the SOLE judge regarding unacceptable behavior.
Umpire/Spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator. REMOVAL IS NOT SUBJECT TO APPEAL.
