They can also modify the booking rules to ensure fair usage of all courts. 10.02 Singles courts, and the doubles court, may be booked up to a maximum of seven (7) days in advance. Up to 2 prime time courts may be booked, but only one on a given day, and up to 5 non-prime time courts may be booked, up to a maximum of 2 on a given day. 10.03 A third prime time court can be booked only on the day the match first booked is to be played. Example: if you have a match at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, you can book two additional prime time courts for later in the week on that Tuesday. Or if you have two prime time courts booked later in the week, then you can book a third prime time court on that Tuesday. This rule applies to prime time bookings only. This rule is designed to re-book last minute cancellations and to allow people to take advantage of court cancellations on a day-by-day basis. 10.04 In addition to your prime time bookings you are allowed to book courts at non prime time. Limit of 2 courts per day, 5 courts per week for non prime time.
