Advanced Court Booking — Helping You Plan Ahead for High-Demand Times
As every tennis player knows, popular court times are often taken within minutes of becoming available, making it difficult to plan ahead with confidence.
TennisFinder offers an optional advanced booking feature designed for players who want the best chance of securing high-demand courts — without needing to watch the clock, remember release times, or be online at exactly the right moment.
You set your preferences once. TennisFinder takes care of the rest.
Automated Booking Assistant
TennisFinder continuously monitors court availability and can act as an automated booking assistant on your behalf.
You simply specify:
- Preferred courts or locations
- Dates and time ranges that extend beyond the currently bookable window
TennisFinder then monitors availability and completes the booking the moment your chosen court becomes available, subject to availability on the public booking system.
This removes the need to:
- Set alarms
- Refresh pages repeatedly
- Compete manually during high-demand booking windows
Instead, TennisFinder handles the process reliably and automatically in the background.
Fair, Transparent, and Optional
The advanced booking assistant:
- Only books courts that are publicly released and available to everyone
- Fully respects the rules and release schedules of each venue
- Cannot block, reserve, or pre-empt courts before release
- Operates strictly within normal booking conditions
It is best thought of as a reliable, fast assistant that helps you manage your tennis — not a shortcut or a workaround.
Use of the assistant is entirely optional. Players who prefer to book manually can continue to do so as usual.
If you prefer, TennisFinder can alternatively notify you by email the moment your preferred court becomes available, allowing you to complete the booking yourself.
Improving Your Chances — Not Guaranteed Outcomes
For some venues and time slots, demand significantly exceeds supply, and multiple players may be trying to secure the same court at the same time.
Where supported, TennisFinder allows users to optionally offer a small premium above the standard court price to improve their chances of securing a booking when demand is high.
- This does not guarantee a booking
- It simply prioritises execution speed and commitment at the moment of release
- All payments are taken only once a booking is successfully confirmed from the player’s prepaid balance (“kitty”)
This reflects the reality of limited supply while remaining transparent, controlled, and fair.
Payments and Cost Sharing Still Apply
All standard TennisFinder payment features apply to advanced bookings:
- Use a prepaid balance (“kitty”) or pay at booking time
- Automatically split court fees between participating players
- Avoid chasing payments after the match
If a booking cannot be secured, no court fee is charged.
Pricing
- Browsing availability and booking already-released courts remains free
- The automated booking assistant is charged separately
- You only pay for the assistant when you choose to use it
This keeps TennisFinder accessible for casual players, while offering additional value for those who need certainty at peak times.
In Summary
Advanced booking through TennisFinder offers:
- Automated monitoring of future availability
- Immediate booking when courts become available
- No need to be online at release time
- Transparent, rule-compliant operation
- Optional premium execution for high-demand slots
- The same fair payment and cost-sharing features
You decide how much automation you want.
TennisFinder simply makes it easier to play when courts are in demand.
