Match location and how to find your time:
Once the draws are posted, players will need to click on
the draws tab about halfway down the page. Once you have located your
draw, find your name on the draw line and pay particular attention to
the time and the abbreviation next to the time as this indicates WHERE
THE MATCH WILL BE PLAYED. Then go back to the front page of the
tournament and look at the legend of sites with the abbreviation of your
match. Click on more info, and a map link with address will populate
for that site. It is recommended that players re-check there time on
Friday evening to see if any withdrawals have occurred which might
advance a player in the draw with a new time. We do our best to send
players an email notice of any withdrawals. Remember that the online
times are the official times, so always have the site director update it
online if they tell you a different time. Also, some draws will change
locations from Saturday to Sunday. It is a good idea to print your draw
and maps to your locations.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate 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.

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 Texas
tournaments, for a period of time to be determined by the USTA Texas Discipline and Grievance
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
