Forgot Password?
If you enter the wrong password or leave it blank, you will receive a prompt to have a password reset emailed to you.
- If you don't see the email, check your spam or junk mail folder.
- Check you spam settings to make sure that they are not set to instantly discard suspected spam.
- Put service@holdmycourt.com and service@ses.holdmycourt.com in your contacts list. That will lessen the chance that an overly aggressive spam program will treat the email as spam.
- If your email provider enables you to have a white list and black list, make sure that service@holdmycourt.com and service@ses.holdmycourt.com are in the white list and did not accidentally get put into the black list.
- If none of that works for you, ask the local manager of your reservation system to generate a new password and give it to you by phone or email.
Can I change my password or email address?
Yes, when already signed in, click on the link labeled Change Profile. Use a password that is not used for any other purpose.
How many advance reservations can I make?
Reservations are not limited unless the local manager limits them in one of the following ways.
- The program can be configured to only allow one reservation per day or one reservation within a selected number of days.
- Reservations might be limited by local club policy. In that case, the policy is probably displayed in an announcement under the heading or displayed on your club website.
How do I cancel a reservation?
Go to the date of the reservation, then click on the link that has your name or the label that you gave to the reservation. A page will be displayed with options to edit or delete the reservation. You may only delete your own reservations unless you are an administrator.
Is it possible for an instructor or league manager to book more court time than allowed by the configuration of the program?
Yes, the administrator can designate higher permission levels for some users.
- Super Users can make more than one reservation per day or change the displayed name regardless of the general settings.
- Captains have the privileges of a Super User and can make reservations for any date in the future and can block out courts for any date.
- Adminstrators have full control and can add other administrators as needed.
Is it possible to display more than one day at a time?
Yes, one of the links below the heading is labeled Multi-View or Single View. When signed in, the number of days to display can be changed on the Profile page. The number of days to display might be limited by your local administrator. The feature works best for a relatively small number of courts so that scrolling is not needed.
Is it possible to show fewer courts on a narrow screen?
Yes, the profile page has an option to divide the display into two separate views. The lower view will display the number of courts selected. The upper view will display the remainder. Your local administrator might have set a default number of courts in the lower view. Your personal setting will override the default.

Is it possible to require up to four signup slots per court?
Yes, on the configuration page, change the number of virtual courts to 4 times the number of physical courts. If you have 3 physical courts, you might re-label the 12 courts on the configuration page something like the following.
