Overview
Booking Slot Durations lets you decide which booking lengths players can choose and how those slots appear in the player booking view. You create rules for each sport, and each rule applies to specific days, a time window and selected courts.
This replaces the previous Allowed Booking Durations policy.
Where to Find It
Go to Club Policies → General → Booking → Booking Slot Durations. Rules are grouped by sport (e.g. Padel), so each sport is configured separately.
Rule Settings
Each rule includes the following settings:
Days — the days of the week the rule applies to
Time — the Start time and End time of the rule
Courts — the courts the rule applies to
Durations — the booking lengths players can choose (e.g. 60, 90 or 120 minutes)
Slot Type — how slots are laid out for players:
Fixed — slots run back to back, with no gaps or overlap
Dynamic — all possible start-time combinations are shown
Avoid Slot Wastage — when enabled, bookings that would leave an unusable gap between reservations are restricted

Example Setup
This example uses two weekday rules for Padel, one per court:
Setting | Rule 1 | Rule 2 |
Days | Monday–Friday | Monday–Friday |
Time | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM | 12:00 PM – 11:59 PM |
Courts | Padel 9 | Padel 8 |
Durations | 60 Min | 90 Min |
Slot Type | Fixed | Dynamic |
Avoid Slot Wastage | Disabled | Enabled |
Scenario 1 — Fixed slots (Padel 9, morning)
Players see 60-minute slots running back to back:
8:00–9:00, 9:00–10:00, 10:00–11:00, 11:00–12:00
This works well for busy periods where you want a predictable, structured schedule and no leftover time between bookings.
Scenario 2 — Dynamic slots (Padel 8, afternoon and evening)
Players see 90-minute slots with overlapping start times:
12:00–1:30, 12:30–2:00, 1:00–2:30, 1:30–3:00, and so on
This gives players more choice of start time. Because overlapping slots can leave short gaps between bookings, Avoid Slot Wastage is enabled here to restrict bookings that would leave unusable time on the court.
