Book the hour, split the fee, screenshot it. Peak evenings vanish a week out.

Winter indoor

FAQ

Before you go.

Is there an official lineup system?+

No city-wide app. At busy parks, racquets in a row or a verbal queue is the norm. Be obvious that you are waiting.

What if my opponent is more than 15 minutes late?+

Unseeded grace is 15–20 minutes. If they no-show without contact, the present player can claim a walkover from the match hub.

Weather?+

If rain or unsafe courts kill the day, request a weather extension in-app (match day ±1 in Toronto). Do not grind through standing water on public asphalt.
