There are times when some of that info is good to mention.

At some club tournaments that I work, the players often play at one gym, only to play at another gym for the semi-finals and/or finals.

Gyms they're moving to have possibly confusing markings, such as two types of rectangular keys, two three-point lines, etc. One gym even has a very thick OB line around the court, but in actuality, the OB line is just inside that thick black "line", being a 2" wide white line. The rest of the court marking are in the white as well.

So if I believe that the players are experiencing "this gym" for the first time, I do mention it to the captains. I also mention it to the coaches as well.

It's an ounce of prevention instead of a pound of complaining when I whistle an unexpected OB (or other) call.
