The Challenge
What made it hard.
Clubs ran on paper sign-up sheets and group texts. Members double-booked courts and organisers had no reliable headcount before a session.
Our Approach
How we built it.
We built a realtime booking core with member roles, per-club amenities and a chat layer, so every court state change propagates instantly across devices.
