FWIW, the TV listings show the first match at 7am PDT (not 6am), and Stanford vs. FSU at 10:00am. So that agrees with Stanford's press release and contradicts the NCAA bracket.
ETA: today (May 4), the NCAA bracket is updated, and also shows Stanford's first match at 10:00am PDT.

If they win, they would play again at 2pm. If they lose the first match, they play at 12:00pm PDT.

Four opening round matches being televised on ESPNU tomorrow morning, 7, 8, 9, and Stanford at 10 PT. I don't know how many courts are available. There will probably be some overlap of matches.
Stanford's first match is against Florida State. Here are a couple tidbits about FSU. Because the total number of team and staff is restricted, FSU had to buy four spectator seats for four of its non-starting players. These players are not allowed to interact with their teammates on the beach during tourney play, what a bummer.
One of FSU's players, Sara Putt, is 24 years old and is in her sixth year of playing.

Teammates need their own tickets to their own match wow ncaa just can’t stop gender discrimination
156 Beach teams and the ncaa championships have just 8 teams. I thought that was the lowest of low but it just gets worse
Thanks Palo Alto for pointing that out.

Meanwhile, over on the men’s volleyball semifinal webcast they’re listing Stanford’s history of NCAA success and just unloading on our AD for eliminating men’s volleyball. Calling the department an embarrassment. Yup.

I'm guessing they'll have five courts active at Gulf Shores, so all five flights playing simultaneously.
Edit: that's confirmed in this video.
In this week's episode of this videocast:

Charlie Ekstrom mentions she went to high school and partnered with TCU's Hailey Brockett.

Before Cal Poly she played for UCLA.
That is a volleyball family. I saw her mother, Kelly Stand play pro beach with her twin sister Lisa Strand Ma'a.

Have we mentioned that Karissa Cook is an assistant coach at LMU?

The 2021 champion will be from LA. USC is undefeated, and UCLA and LMU are alive in the contenders' bracket.
