Common questions · Players and hosts
How booking works, what a plan costs, how a host is paid, and the things we do not do. If your question is about one court, the message button on that court page reaches the people who run it.
For players
Our five playing levels are adopted from DUPR's rating scale. Four of them line up with a DUPR range, and one sits below it, for people new to the game. Pick yours on your account so a host knows roughly how you play. We are not connected to DUPR, so nothing you do here changes a DUPR rating.
A question about one court is best asked of the host who runs it. A question about hosting is answered by the host pages.
Sign in, open any court page and use the message button. It starts a thread with the people who run that court, and you can ask before you book anything.
What the host side does, what a plan costs where you are, and what we never charge you for.
Ready to play
Find a court near you, see the free times and ask for the one you want. You can book with a free account, or as a guest where the host allows it.
Your booking carries a booking code and a QR pass. If the host uses check-in, which comes with the Pro and Club plans, show either one when you arrive and they check you in. OpenDinkers does not open doors or gates, so a locked court is still the host letting you in.
Yes, as a group. A booking has one payer, so whoever books pays the host for the whole court. But if you play together as a club or squad, the organiser can put a session on that booking and split the court cost between the people who come. Each player then pays the organiser directly.
The host writes their own cancellation terms, and those terms are copied onto your booking the moment you book, so they cannot be changed afterwards. We work out what is owed back from them and the host sends it. Nothing about the weather is automatic: a rained off court is the host calling it off.
Yes. Every court page has a message button that opens a thread with the people who run that court. You do not need a booking first.
