Help Us Make CourtReserve Better! 🗣️

We want to hear from you! Your ideas and feedback drive the continuous improvement of CourtReserve. Submit your ideas here and vote on your favorites to help shape our platform's future. Our product team reviews the idea board and updates our roadmap every 90 days, so your suggestions can directly impact upcoming features. 


The Process

To ensure that everyone understands the process the Product Team follows when reviewing/addressing submitted ideas, below is a breakdown of statuses:

  • Unmarked: This is the initial status when an idea is submitted. The Product Team will review all submitted ideas to determine how best to move forward.
  • Internal Review: The Product Team will review the submitted idea to determine scope of the request. A Product Owner (PO) may reach out to you for more detail.
  • Not Planned: If the Product Team determines that the idea is not valid or is not something that aligns with Product goals, the idea will be declined/marked as not planned.
  • Waiting on Votes: After the Product Team decides to move forward with an idea, this status will be set to allow time for others to vote on the idea. Ideas will be kept in this status for 90 days, as this will allow for enough time to garner votes and for the Product Team to better understand priority based on the number of votes received. 
  • Accepted for Future Development: Once the idea has been reviewed, discussed with the submitter (as needed), and prioritized by a PO, the idea will be accepted for development in an upcoming sprint. The timeframe for development will be determined based on other existing priorities/team capacity.
  • In Progress: When the idea has been estimated, the idea is considered in progress.
  • Beta: If the idea requires a beta testing period, this status will be set. This remains the status until Beta testing is completed.
  • Completed: Once the idea is released to Production, the idea is considered completed.

Throughout the process outlined above, POs will provide updates to keep you in the loop.

Thank you for being an essential part of the CourtReserve community!

Add Minutes Limit to Court Type Restrictions

Under Settings > Booking Settings > Restrictions, add a setting for "MINUTES a Member is Allowed to Reserve per Day" to be available within the various Court Types. 


Example, set a limit of 120 minutes a member is allowed to Reserve per Day for the INDOOR courts.

Membership Rules that conflict w/in a Reservation

Christi Nielsen 2 weeks ago in Memberships 0

We have VIP memberships which have benefits that other memberships do not have. One is that our VIPs get 4 free guests per month, however our other memberships do not get to bring guests. All of our membership settings are set correctly per the above. However, when a VIP member tries to add a guest to their reservation, and others on that reservation have different membership types, the guests are blocked from being added. This makes it impossible for our VIPs to be able to manage their own free guests and it would be nice to see this rectified

Each membership type has its own set of rules but this is irrelevant if the rules don't apply per membership within a single reservation.  Thank you for your consideration.

Show bookers names opt out

Michael Tait 2 weeks ago in Events / Programming 0

On member facing calendars/schedulers for tennis court bookings have the ability for members to opt out/in whether their name is shown to other members..

I believe currently it is all yes or all no.  However, we have a minority who wish to remain anonymous and quote privacy and PIPEDA etc...  having an opt out option would solve the problem.

Public Packages

Rhys Evans 2 weeks ago in Packages 0

We need the ability to sell packages to people who do not have an account. 

It was a step in the right direction to add the Public Package URL in the recent update. But unfortunately, when you click the link, it forces you to go through the sign in/up flow. Then, when you complete the sign in/up flow, it does not spit you out at the Packages page the way it should. This makes things difficult for our customers who are not tech-savvy and quickly give up when they run into friction like that, and we are missing out on a lot of package sales. Additionally, we have been hoping for a gift card option to be in the works, and it would be ideal for this to be accessed via a public link.

Create an option to create member profile for a specific membership profile when waiver form is filled

The information required for the waiver is the same information required for a member profile. This would allow us to convert guests to free members that can be targeted for marketing and reduce the need to continue asking them to sign waivers.

MembershipPackages/ Settings

I just started new membership giving 8 free hours a month for booking. They started their membership in the beginning of the month and used all the hours; They just got charged yesterday for their new monthly membership... but they can use their free hours for the new month purchased. Im told it doesn't automatically update when they purchase the new month.

Court Closure (rain out) of back to back bookings

Michael Tait 3 weeks ago in Player Experience 0

When we close courts due to rain - but a booking is split i.e. one hour is in the closure and the second hour is when courts have re-opened.  It cancels both. It does this as it one booking over two reservation slots.  Is there a way that the system could not cancel the period that is not closed?

Ladders - %PTS Won (Algorithm doesn't work)

Ken Little 3 weeks ago in Events / Programming / Organized Play updated by SLPCC Web Admin - Mike 3 weeks ago 1

We are currently using the Ladder League programme with the rankings being controlled by the %PTS Won and a maximum movement of 5 on the Ladder.


System Issues & How Court Reserve needs to Fix Them

  • Issue: Sandbagging & Skewed Totals
    • The Problem: Racking up points against weaker players on a lower court yields an artificially inflated cumulative score.
    • The Fix: Switch from raw points to Points Percentage (e.g., Total Points Scored ÷ Total Points Available). This normalizes scoring so that dominance on any court is evaluated equally. 
  • Issue: "Runaway" Scores
    • The Problem: Early-season leaders build an insurmountable cumulative points lead, destroying motivation for newer players or late bloomers.
    • The Fix: Average your players' weekly scores, or only count their last 3 to 4 weeks of play. Alternatively, use rolling averages so early poor games or missed weeks don't permanently tank a player's rank.
  • Issue: Unequal Games Played
    • The Problem: In open-play formats, players who attend every session will accumulate vastly more total points than those who attend occasionally.
    • The Fix: Rank players strictly by their average match/game win percentage or point percentage, rather than total cumulative points

The current algorithm does not take into account any of the above fixes.  this presents major problems on the ladder where high level players find hemselves playing loweer level players with no fun for either.

Come on Court Reserve.  You can do better.

Gamified Member Achievements (Badges, Rewards, Leaderboards)

Jeff Mori 4 weeks ago in Player Experience 0

It would be great to add a gamified achievement system for members. For example, clubs could create badges or rewards for milestones like completing all programs, attending a certain number of events, or reaching skill levels. A simple leaderboard or progress tracker could also encourage participation and engagement. This would help clubs recognize member accomplishments and make participation more fun and motivating.

ability to master accept payments like attendance. We are a cash club

We should be able to click multiple players at once to accept payments. Its too much clicking to go through each individual person to accept payment. especially when we are using cash payments. It should give both options.

Add POS Item Name as a column on the Transaction List report

Velocity Badminton 1 month ago in Reports / Financial Reports updated by Sandeep Aswadati 2 weeks ago 2

Add POS Item Name as a column on the Transaction List report

Description:

Right now, the Transaction List report shows transactions as “POS” but it does not include the POS item name as a column. This makes it impossible to filter or group transactions by a specific POS item (for example, “Walk-in”) to get daily revenue totals for the last 90 days. The POS Item Sales report only summarizes the selected date range into one line per item, so it cannot be used to get a daily breakdown. Adding the POS item name as a selectable column on the Transaction List report would allow clubs to analyze revenue by item on a daily basis without relying on custom fields or manual entry. This would be especially helpful for tracking walk-in revenue, membership add-ons, and other itemized POS sales over time. If possible, include the item name and item ID in the export as well.

Switch instructor availability from blacklist to whitelist

Jeff Moulton 2 months ago in Instructors 0

Request: Switch instructor scheduling from blacklisting unavailability to whitelisting availability, and add an automatic buffer that removes unbooked slots across both online and front-desk booking.

1. Whitelist availability

Let instructors mark when they are available rather than blocking off when they're not. 

2. Automatic booking buffer

Add a configurable buffer (e.g. 36 hours) that automatically removes an available slot once it's inside the buffer window and still unbooked — applied to both online and front-desk booking. The existing online booking window doesn't stop front-desk staff from booking inside the cutoff; we enforce that with internal policy today, but a system-level rule is far more reliable.

Configurability: Facility-wide default with a per-instructor override.

add the public booking system style to the mobile app

Michael Patterson 2 months ago in Mobile App 0

The current system works but it shows a lot of information that the user doesn't need to see, like all the times that are currently booked up. I love the new public booking system that just shows the slots that are free, effectively reducing cognitive load. Could we please get this as an option in the mobile app instead of the current calendar view?

update registrant custom fields after initial registration

Michael Tait 2 months ago in Events / Programming 0

Use Case:  At time of registration for a camp, we ask for dietary requirements and allergies.  The parent does not complete it at time of registration or wants to update it.  Currently we cannot update this custom field - BUT it is so important that we can.  We use this field to give to our chef for doing camp lunches - now it is obsolete.

Rally answer was:  Collecting it again - is a bit of a nightmare to say the least...


Short answer: you can’t edit event/program registrant custom fields after registration.  Those fields are designed to be completed by the registrant during sign-up. After that, admins can only view the responses by hovering over the “i” icon next to the registrant’s name in the event list. There isn’t a documented way to update or overwrite those values later in the system.  If you need to change the information, the typical approach is to collect it again (for example via a follow-up form or message) rather than editing the original field.

Clinic summary instructor list includes all system users - not instructors only

Add the Email Builder capabilities to the Notify participants under events.

Colee Schroeder 2 months ago in Email Builder 0

There are times when we want to send a targeted marketing email to event participants but the Notify option doesn't have the email builder. The other option would be to create a member group directly from the event. Then we could use the email builder. Thanks for your consideration.

Add API endpoints for POS items and inventory (list items, get item by ID, update stock quantity)

Alison Cremeans 2 months ago in Integration / API 0

We're building a custom inventory management tool and need API access to sync POS items and stock levels. Please add endpoints to: list all POS items, retrieve a single item by ID, and update stock quantity (on-hand). This would allow us to keep inventory in sync without manual entry in the POS area.

A notes tab on top of the each court similar to google calendar

Aman Singh 2 months ago in Schedulers 0

Just a notes tab for each court that the admins can have notes for the day. for example, need to close a certain court by a certain time or notes for the day for a pro. For example if a certain event is assigned to a pro, it can show on top of their page even if you don't need courts assigned for them!

Members changing membership from paid to free, prompt to cancel?

Allison Coe 2 months ago in Memberships 0

When our members have a paid membership and are changing to a free membership, they are not cancelling their paid membership first. It would be handy to have the system recognize the change and auto-cancel the paid membership on their last paid day and auto-start the new free membership once that time is up. 

If they want to move to the free membership immediately, it would also be beneficial to have a pop up that tells them they are cancelling their paid membership before the paid through date and that they recognize they are doing so (without any refund or proration)

Allow members without a DUPR account to sign up for DUPR NR events

Jeff Moulton 2 months ago in Events / Programming 0

We have some clinics that are DUPR 0.0-2.749. We had a scenario where someone without a DUPR account tried to sign up for the clinic but couldn't since they need to have a DUPR account at least tied to their CR account to sign up.

One solution is to just remove the DUPR restriction all together, which I have done in the meantime. But I think it is a reasonable solution to allow players who don't have a DUPR id attached to their account to sign up for an event that allows for DUPR "Not Rated" ratings to sign up.

One of the reasons I want to have a restriction is that I want to keep the upper limit to ensure that no one above the level can sign up and either be frustrated by the lower level players or ruin the experience for the players actually in that range.

Option to NOT ALLOW Credits be used to pay Monthly Memberships.

Customers put money on their Customers Account to be used for POS Purchases, etc, but CourtReserve uses this credit each month to pay their membership.  Then they have to add more money to their account.  We as facility operators want players to use NEW MONEY to pay for their Memberships...not OLD Money that is on their account.,

Add bar code to smart Watch for Check-in

Add the bar code to a smart watch (iWatch) to add flexibility to the check in process.  The self check-in for events works great and out players love it.

Auto refund destination determined by customer or club cancel

Auto refund to the credit card is great for club cancelled events (like auto-cancelled events due to low numbers) but we'd like the option to change the destination to "account credit" if the customer cancels.

Allow Guests to Check-In on the Kiosk

Rand Lee 2 years ago in Reservations updated by Aria Colby 11 months ago 3

Our club doesn't have a full-time front desk, so we rely heavily on the Kiosk feature for member check-in for reservations.

However, guests can't check in on the Kiosk. It'd be great if the Kiosk showed a drop down of all the guests, and they guests could pick out their name and check into a reservation that they are on.

Event pricing tied to membership

Mike Johansen 2 years ago in Memberships updated by Fred Lybbert 2 months ago 6 1 duplicate

We've created memberships with various powers and pricing.

Yet when we create Events, there isn't even a default price per membership. 

This is problematic when:
- new membership types are added. Then have to go into every recurring event and manually set the pricing for the new membership types.
- events are created with wrong info.

Memberships should have default event prices that can be overridden similar to how courts can be overridden for recurring event dates.

Add more info in Stripe Payment API

Jammy He 2 years ago in Integration / Payment Integrations updated by Kasey Zandt 6 months ago 8

Currently the payment info passed to Stripe is very limited and it's hard for our accountant /bookkeeper to understand what the payment is by looking at stripe only, and will have to reconcile with Court Reserve. It would be very helpful if Court Reserve Payments can pass more information (eg. order number, or payer name, or payment type(membership, court fee, events)) to stripe.

Daily Notes when Admin Logged in

Beverly Raelson 4 years ago in Any other Ideas / Suggestions 😁 updated by Aria Colby 6 months ago 7

Often times there are attention items that staff for the day need to be aware specifically for that day. It could be something about a specific reservation or maybe a member needs to update their CC on file. The expanded scheduler view can get crowded with notes or the note is not specific to a reservation or event. If there was a Daily Notes section for in house items that need attention at the top of the screen (or maybe an icon to hover over so as to not take up room) that would be very helpful!

Waitlist - Auto Add Criteria

Rob Hill 5 years ago in Events / Programming updated by Danielle Clark 6 days ago 4

When the event is set to auto-register from waitlist, it would be good if you could provide us with a way to configure the order of acceptance criteria.  We are looking to give more equitable playing time in our organization.

Options would include: 

First on the list (default)

First on the list who hasn't reached their booking limits

For example:

People are limited to 1 booking per week and they game the system by registering for an event that is full first and then registering for an event with empty spots.  On the day of the event, we lift the advanced booking restrictions which means that someone who has already reached their booking limit could take priority over someone who hasn't had a chance to play yet.  

We would like to be able to configure the event waitlist to run some For loops to take the first person on the waitlist who hasn't had a chance to play this week over someone who has.

Split Group Membership Payments!

Jack Hagy 8 hours ago in Memberships updated 8 hours ago 0

I would like to be able to split the automatic monthly payments for our group membership among each family member. This is currently not possible and it creates a headache for our members who have to reimburse whoever the primary is. It would be much easier if the payment could automatically be split evenly or at a custom rate among each person.
