Create deviations

What are deviations?

Deviations let you change the booking schedule after a season has been created. Use them to adjust opening hours, change booking slot lengths, or close specific times – for example, for holidays, tournaments, or different weekend hours.

A deviation can either open new time slots or close existing ones.

Create a deviation

1. Go to Administration > Seasons and click on the season you want to adjust.
2. Scroll down to Deviations and click Create Deviation.
3. Fill in the deviation details:
   • Name – a descriptive name, e.g. “Close Mon–Fri 06–17 Padel” or “Open weekends 08–22”.
   • Date range – the start and end dates for when the deviation applies. The end date must be on or after the start date.
   • Time range – the start and end times. The start time must be before the end time.
   • Courts – select which courts are affected. Only checked courts will be changed.
   • Days – select which weekdays are affected.
   • Booking duration – the slot length for the affected times (e.g. 1:00, 1:30). Cannot be 00:00.
   • Time between bookings – optional gap between slots.
   • Open/Close – choose whether to open new time slots or close existing ones.
4. Click Next Step to preview the changes. The preview shows which slots will be added or removed.
5. Review and confirm to apply the deviation.

Opening vs. closing deviations

• Open – creates new bookable time slots in the selected range. If there are already slots in that range, they will be replaced with the new settings.
• Close – removes unbooked time slots in the selected range. Slots that already have bookings are not removed – you need to cancel those bookings first.

Copy deviations between seasons

When editing a season, you can copy all deviations from another season. The dates are adjusted to fit the target season. If any copied deviation would affect slots with existing bookings, an error is shown and that deviation is skipped.

Delete a deviation

You can delete a deviation record, but note that deleting it does not undo the slot changes it already made. If you need to reverse the effect, create a new deviation with the opposite setting (open vs. close).
