Practice ice Booking
planned
Steve Copeland
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?

Please consider allowing a fee to be charged for practice ice bookings. Also as an enhancement to this feature please consider booking windows (e.g. number of days in advance of the booking date) which are different for different categories of curlers. At our club shareholders can book up to 7 days in advance while non-shareholders can only book 3 days in advance. Thank you.

Agreed. I think we may already have this roadmapped.
