Match location and how to find your time:
Once the draws are posted on Monday, 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.

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.
