DEMO SCENARIO (SYNTHETIC)
Test a peak booking window and shared court layout
1. Create tennis and pickleball court resources with distinct booking windows by member tier.
2. Have two member types attempt the same peak slot; add guests and verify limits.
3. Block two courts for a league and schedule a lesson with a specific coach and surface.
4. Close one court for weather, cancel the bookings and reconcile credits, refunds and utilization.

MIGRATION
Plan a controlled data move
Import member tiers and booking privileges, court and surface configuration, coach schedules, leagues and events, recurring reservations, guest policies, future bookings, lesson credits, payment balances and maintenance closures. Audit prime-time bookings for fairness and convert any recurring reservations manually before opening member self-service.

A POSSIBLE FIRST BUILD
Scheduling software does not guarantee court safety, fair play or tournament eligibility. Club staff remain responsible for rules, court maintenance, weather decisions and accurate member communication.
