Reservations vs. Events

Both Reservations and Events block time on one or more courts, but they differ in who creates them, how players join, and how pricing works. They both show up on the Schedule tab.

Reservations

• Who creates them: Players (or admins on their behalf).
• Purpose: Book a specific court and time for a private game.
• Pricing: Uses your club’s standard court-booking rates.
• Player flow: The person booking (host) can invite other players to fill the spots.
  • Open Game option: The host can mark the reservation as Open Game, allowing anyone who spots it on the schedule to join until all slots are filled.

Events

• Who creates them: Club staff.
• Purpose: Offer organized play – open plays, clinics tournament, leagues, socials, etc.
• Pricing: Set per event, with optional member/non-member pricing tiers.
• Formats are manageable via time slots that you define for the event.
  • One-off: A single date, one or multiple courts and/or one or multiple time slots.
  • Multi-day: A single sign-up covers several days (e.g., a league that repeats every Wednesday; users sign up once but are on the list for each time slot). Created by defining time slots on different days within one single event.
  • Recurring series: Players register for each date independently within the series. Learn how to create an event series.
• Alias: You’ll sometimes see “Program” used interchangeably with Event.
