Miscellaneous Event Scheduling
Dave Rapin
Allow clubs to create misc events in an IO hosted calendar, basically replacing the need for them to set up their own Google (or other third party) calendar.
This should be compatible with future ice / venue rental / booking features.

Practice ice to add to schedule
K R
I would like to see an option to create practice ice sessions, where members and non members can register via CurlingIO and would then display on the schedule page of the website, along with leagues and bonspiels. We currently use a parallel schedule with Google calendar to manage all of these in order to inform the ice makers.

The bowling industry have a few app providers that have solved this problem. They have leagues that they block lanes for. They have busy times they charge more for. They allow clients to book multiple lanes with multiple players and age groups.

Hey Curling I/O Crew - any updates on the ice booking? We used google appointments this season but were having troubles with googles use of timezones. Would love to be able to have something in Curling I/O that both members and non-members could book from.

Sutherland Curling Club: We have big plans for this. It's not a small undertaking, but we should be able to get started on it soon. We've been evaluating what's out there and the generic options all feel pretty bad.

TSA Curling Club has set up a booking system on a wordpress site using the easy appointments plugin. This plugin has a lot of features, including those listed below. You can check it out at tsaplays.ca. It can link to woocommerce to enable payments. We have not implemented this capability.

Steve Copeland: Thanks Steve, I'll take a look.

Capturing some notes as I gather requirements for this feature:
- Because booking will actually block off that time, only online payments will be supported.
- Availability must take capacity into consideration, or potentially it needs to be granular down to the sheet level. I prefer a capacity setting (E.g. 4 for 4 sheets) so that clubs who don't care about capacity (always rent the entire ice) can simply set it to 1.
- Should encompass more than just ice. Allow clubs to create their own "venue" entries that can be booked. So a club could enable booking for ice (or individual sheets), rooms, the bar, etc. as separate venues that can be booked.
- Potentially might need a package deal where you can book all venues together (and not selecting each one separately).
- Will price ever vary by time of day or by day of year? E.g. could it be more expensive to book ice for 7 PM than for 2 PM? Weekend vs. Weekday?
