COURT BOOKINGS

How do I book court?

How far in advance can I book for Court 6?
You can book all courts  7 days in advance.  For example, on Monday at 9am bookings will open for the following Sunday.  To make it easier for you, the Online Booking tool only shows the dates you can book. 

What if I am rained out, do i have to cancel?
Your reservation will be cancelled by the court monitor once he/she has determined that your court is impacted and you will be automatically notified.  If you have not received a cancellation, that means that you’re still expected to show up for your court (see Rule about no-shows).

Can I book before or after my team match?
Yes but you will need to see the court monitor to book a court and if a court is available.

What if a team match goes long and I have the 9pm court booked?
The court monitor will endeavor to assign you a free court, but team play has priority (see Rule about booking courts after a Team Match).  Teams will do their best to start on time but members should book the court understanding that there is a chance they may start late.

Can I book for 2 consecutive hours? No, bookings may not be made consecutively. You can book one hour and then see if there are any open courts afterwards as a walk on. Or you can book 1pm-2pm and 3-4pm but you can’t book 2-3pm.

What if my partner doesn’t have the booking but I do? You must wait until both parties have the available booking room.

What if the court monitor is not available to check in with for my booked court? Wait until the time of your booking, and proceed to your booked court
