The New Court Rental System
The Six New Courts of BBC will be managed in a different fashion than the Members Only Club. The new courts will be controlled by Sports Manager Software instead of free-form court assignment. Sports Manager Software will allow Members to Reserve Court Time by the Hour Online, or In Person.

Signing up

To sign up to use the new courts you must sign up in person at the new gym. You can’t sign up in the Members Only Gym. An employee of BBC, located in the Pro Shop, can sign you up to be a member. If you are a Current Member of BBC and have not signed up for the new courts, you can waive the Annual Membership fee of $50 by showing your Current Membership Card at the time of signing up. Without the Membership Card, the $50 Initiation Fee must be paid. Membership expires one year from initiation and must be renewed if you wish to continue using the courts. Upon signing up you will receive a card with a six digit number on it, and a 4 digit PIN.
Download the Rental Court Membership Agreement here. Please submit it with the front desk on your first visit.

Making a Booking

To make a booking go to the bookings PC inside the gym and hold your card next to the card reader. A window will pop up with options to either make a booking, finish an ongoing booking, cancel a booking, or edit your personal information. To make a booking simply highlight the block of time that you wish to play for and press “Make Booking.” To finish or cancel a booking, click on the booking you wish to have cancelled and press cancel. If you wish for money to be refunded to your account if you cancel a booking, you must cancel 24 hours before the booking was scheduled. Inside the 24 hour window court time is non-refundable.
MAKE SURE TO LOG OUT AFTER YOU ARE DONE ON THE BOOKINGS PC! The Bellevue Badminton Club is not responsible if someone else makes a booking with your information. Treat your card number and PIN as you would a credit card.

However, if you forget your card and still wish to make a booking, you may enter your card number and your PIN (you get this when becoming a member). That will also log you on to the bookings PC.

To make a booking on-line simply click on the tab “Court Reservations” under "Court Rentals" top menu. You can view the current bookings schedule and make a booking by first entering your 6 digit card number and 4 digit PIN. This will take you to the sports manager web site which allows you to make bookings from anywhere, so you can reserve a court for tonight, or even next week!

Cards

You will be issued a card with a six digit number when signing up. Your card will let you into the gym only during hours of operation (when staff is present). Your card number is what you need to make a booking on-line as well as the 4 digit PIN associated with your card.
Please don’t write your PIN on your card for personal security reasons.
If you lose your card someone else can find it and start booking courts under your name. If you don’t want this to happen, please notify a staff member located in the pro shop, and they will deactivate the card. There is a $25 fee for getting a replacement card.

Lighting

The lights on the new courts will be controlled on an individual scale. Before a booking is made the lights will be off in the gym. The lights will turn on automatically when a booking starts for only the court that the booking was reserved, and will turn off when the booking ends. If two bookings are made back to back, the lights will turn off for 10 seconds between bookings to signal the end of the existing booking and start of the next. You are not allowed to play when the lights are off.
