To run a tournament or league night in Polomolok, you will book several consecutive hours on a single court rather than one slot. ReservePolomolok is still in development, so no courts are live yet; once listings open, you will pick a start and end time, the system holds the block for 10 minutes while you pay by Maya, QR Ph, or card, and you confirm at the gate. For multi-court events or recurring league bookings, you will message the venue first.
How will you block a whole block of hours?
Each slot can only be booked once, so reserving a clean run of hours is the heart of organizing an event. The platform will let you set a wide start-to-end window on one court, which locks every hour in between for your group. Here is the order that will work.
- 1Create your free account, since you will need one to book even though browsing is open.
- 2Open the court you want and check its calendar for hours that are already taken or league-reserved.
- 3Set your start time and end time to cover the full block, for example three or four straight hours.
- 4Pay within the 10-minute hold using Maya, QR Ph, or card before the slot releases.
- 5For a second court or a recurring weekly league, message the venue directly to coordinate, since back-to-back multi-court holds are easier to arrange with the owner.
Which venue types are built for events?
Premium multi-court venues with a viewing or lounge area tend to be the most event-ready, since spectators and waiting players have somewhere to sit. Floodlit outdoor courts suit bigger night brackets, and covered courts let parallel matches run through a drizzle. Single-court venues, including indoor aircon ones, are harder to use for a full multi-court event. The table compares the tiers in general terms — actual court counts and rates will be set by each owner when listings go live.
| Court tier | Typical setup | Typical range/hr | Best for events |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium + lounge | Multiple premium courts + viewing area | ₱300–350 | Spectators, lounge, finals feel |
| Floodlit outdoor | Outdoor courts with lights | ₱180–250 | Night brackets, larger draws |
| Covered outdoor | Multiple roofed courts | ₱250–300 | Rain-proof play, parallel matches |
| Budget open-air | Bare outdoor courts | ₱120–180 | Beginner-friendly social leagues |
| Indoor aircon | Single climate-controlled court | ₱400+ | Aircon comfort, but usually single-court |
Why might some windows already be reserved?
Some venues will run their own league nights, and during those windows the league may take priority over public bookings, so you might not see them open on the calendar. Others may hold weekend coaching that is not bookable through the platform at all, which can make a single court hard to grab for a full event weekend. Plan around these by checking the calendar early and asking the venue what is left.
A premium venue with an aircon viewing lounge is the closest thing to a finals atmosphere, where spectators stay cool while matches run on the courts.
What about rain on event day?
Polomolok's tropical rainy season brings heavy afternoon downpours, and outdoor courts do get rained out from around mid-year. Covered courts keep play going through a drizzle, and some outdoor venues may offer a rain reschedule, so ask the venue about its policy before you book. For a fully weatherproof bracket, an indoor or covered venue is the safer base.
- Can I book two courts at once for a bracket?
- The platform books one slot at a time, so you will reserve each court separately for the same hours. For multi-court events, message the venue first to coordinate the holds and confirm both courts are free for your full block.
- Where do spectators sit during a league night?
- Premium venues with a viewing or lounge area are made for exactly this. More open-air venues may have less seating, so bring your own chairs or ask the venue what is available before the event.
- Can I set up a weekly recurring league?
- The booking flow handles single blocks, not automatic weekly repeats, so message the venue to arrange a standing slot. Keep in mind some venues may already reserve certain windows for their own league nights or weekend coaching.
When listings open, start by browsing all courts, check which hours are open that week, and message your chosen venue before locking a multi-court block.
