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.
