HelpHow Edison measures
Linked courts and sellable hours
When one court can be booked whole or in halves, Edison counts that floor once.
Some courts can be booked whole or split. One tennis court that is also two pickleball courts is the usual case. Edison treats the big court and its halves as one surface and counts that surface once.
It is one floor that two sports share, so every capacity figure is measured against the floor rather than against a count of courts.
Who holds whom
Booking the big court holds both halves. Booking either half holds the big court. The two halves never hold each other, so both can be booked at once.
Sellable hours
Sellable hours leave out the hours the other side of the surface held. Each sport is then measured against the time it could actually sell, not against every open hour.
When less than a quarter of an hour's scheduled time is left to sell, Edison makes no call on it. That hour gets no price advice and no automatic price move.
Worked example
One shared court, one day
- 1The court is open 10 hours. Tennis books the full court for 4 hours.
- 2Each pickleball half: 10 - 4 = 6 sellable hours
- 3Pickleball half A books 3 hours: 3 / 6 = 50% of what it could sell, not 3 / 10
- 4All courts together: the floor counts once, 10 hours to sell, not 30
- 5If tennis had held 8 hours: each half has 2 of 10 hours left, under a quarter, so Edison makes no call
3 / 6 = 50% of the time the half could sell.
Made-up round numbers, chosen to show the arithmetic. This is not a result from any venue.
