How does the booking system work?
- In the group on WhatsApp called “NTC ORR 2025” the following will be posed by the chat administrator:
- “The registration for Monday (DATE) at 9AM is now open”
- Once the booking is open, anyone who would like to attend the Organized Round Robin session on the noted date can start reservation of a spot at the court.
- There are 16 spots in total. To reserve a spot, the player will enter “1”, the second “2” and so on until the number “16” is reached. Then, the registration closes automatically. Entries 17, 18 or else are invalid and will be deleted by the chat administrator (Fred).
- Once the registration has reached 16, you can enter “spare”. This will mean that you are available to step in if any last-minute cancellations are required. It is a responsibility of the player who has already reserved their spot but need to cancel last minute to contact a “spare” player directly to confirm that they will cover for them. NO CHANGES IN THE REGISTRATION are required in this case, however, once confirmed, the “spare” should remove their message from the chat.
- The group chat should be kept free from any chats, questions, discussions – keep it off-line. Use the app for bookings only. Any chats, or unrelated messages will be deleted by the chat administrator. For any questions or comments contact Fred directly. However, in a rare circumstance when a player needs to withdraw and there are no “spare” available to cover, it can be done by entering a previous number, so everyone will see that there is still a spot to book. For example, the registration is at 14, and you need to cancel your previous entry. You will enter “13”.
NOTE: last minute cancellations are not welcomed by the players. Looking forward to seeing you at the courts and hope you will enjoy the Organized Round Robin for 2025!
