Recurring bookings
Updated August 24, 2026
A Fieldspace recurring booking repeats a booking on a schedule built from four settings: frequency, interval, days of week, and week of month. Together they cover weekly team practices, every-other-week rentals, and monthly patterns like the first Saturday of each month.
What is a recurring booking?
A recurring booking is one booking that repeats. Instead of adding a team's Tuesday practice to the calendar thirty times, you define the pattern once and Fieldspace creates the series.
Recurring bookings hold Resources — the court, cage, lane, or coach the booking occupies — the same way a single booking does. A recurring Tuesday practice on Court 1 occupies Court 1 every Tuesday in the series, so nothing else can be booked into it.
What controls the schedule?
Four settings combine to describe the pattern:
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Frequency | The base unit the pattern repeats on — for example weekly or monthly |
| Interval | How many units to skip. An interval of 2 on a weekly frequency means every other week |
| Days of week | Which days the booking lands on. Accepts more than one day |
| Week of month | Which week within the month to target — for example the first or third week |
Most schedules only need the first three. Week of month matters when the pattern is monthly and tied to a weekday rather than a date — "first Saturday" rather than "the 1st."
What do common schedules look like?
| Schedule you want | How to set it |
|---|---|
| Team practice every Tuesday | Weekly frequency, interval 1, Tuesday |
| Tuesday and Thursday practices | Weekly frequency, interval 1, Tuesday + Thursday |
| Every other Saturday rental | Weekly frequency, interval 2, Saturday |
| First Saturday of each month | Monthly frequency, week of month 1, Saturday |
The Tuesday-and-Thursday case is worth noting: it is one recurring booking, not two, because days of week accepts multiple days.
How do recurring bookings hold Resources?
A recurring booking occupies Resources through its Event, exactly like a one-off booking. The Event's resource mode decides which Resources each occurrence takes — a mode of all takes every listed Resource, while any takes one free one.
This matters for long series: a recurring booking on an any-mode Event does not reserve one specific court for the whole season, because each occurrence picks from the pool. If a team needs the same court every week, the Event should name that court.
Common questions
Can I book the same court every week for a season?
Yes. A Fieldspace recurring booking repeats a booking on a schedule you define with four settings: frequency, interval, days of week, and week of month. A weekly team practice on the same court is the most common case.
Can a recurring booking skip weeks?
Yes, through the interval setting. An interval of 2 on a weekly frequency books every other week rather than every week.
Can one recurring booking cover more than one day a week?
Yes. The days-of-week setting accepts multiple days, so a single Fieldspace recurring booking can cover a Tuesday and Thursday practice schedule rather than needing two separate series.
Can I book the first Saturday of every month?
Yes. The week-of-month setting combined with a monthly frequency targets a specific week — for example the first Saturday or the third Sunday — rather than a fixed date.
