How to book a rink via the MATCH system
For the 2025 season the procedure to book a rink has changed. Rinks are now booked via the MATCH system. You therefore MUST have created an account thereon and be familiar with its use.
- Log into the MATCH system
- Click on the ‘Booking’ heading
The system will default to the booking facility. Click on My Bookings if you wish to see all of the bookings YOU have made
The system will default to the rink bookings for the day you are on. By default, it will show all 6 rinks.
- On the top right you can choose how many rinks you want to see, e.g., 1-4, or ALL
- On the top left you can choose which rinks you want to see, based on your previous selection
Next – select the day you wish to book a rink on, using the <back or forward> buttons OR click on the centre ‘Date” area to select a date manually
Navigate to the Rink and Session of your choice and click on the blue ‘book’ symbol
Choose a booking type
Either Club Competition, County Competition, Internal Competition, National Competition or a Roll-Up (note that Roll-ups can only be booked 2 days in advance)
Description
Enter a short but relevant description of the event you are booking for. For example, if it’s a Club Competition you might type Men’s Championship, Ladies Pairs, etc.
Session (ends at)
This defaults to the end of the single session that you have selected. If you need more than one session select the end time of the last session that you need.
Check that you have entered the correct details and then click on ‘Book’
The system will then show ..
- Who booked the session
- The booking type
- The description you entered
Cancel (Remove) or Update (Edit) a Session
Click on the small pen symbol at the bottom right of the session
Select ‘remove’ to erase this booking entirely
Change any details – i.e., Booking type, description or Session (Ends at) and then click on ‘Update’ to make any changes to your original booking
