Player Limits & Waitlisting

Manage session capacity and automatically fill openings with waitlisted players.

Control Session Size

Set player limits based on your available courts and ensure fair access with automatic waitlisting.

Control Session Size

Setting Player Limits

Configure capacity for your sessions.

Step-by-step:

  1. 1When creating/editing session, set "Player Limit"
  2. 2Enter maximum number of players
  3. 3Choose what happens when full: close or waitlist
  4. 4Enable "Auto-promote from waitlist"
  5. 5Set waitlist notification preferences

How Waitlists Work

Waitlists automatically manage overflow players.

💡 Tips & Best Practices:

  • •Players join waitlist when session is full
  • •When spot opens, first waitlist person is notified
  • •They have 2 hours to claim the spot
  • •If declined, next person is notified
  • •Track waitlist position in real-time
  • •Export waitlist for manual management

Capacity Best Practices

Calculate your limit based on courts and format. For round robin, use multiples of 4. Consider adding 1-2 extra spots to account for last-minute cancellations.
