What would it take to build a padel court booking and player-matching app?

Padel bookings often involve organising four players as well as finding a court. An app could connect those tasks while making clear when a court is being held and when the booking is confirmed.

The venue needs rules for temporary reservations, split payments and cancellation deadlines. Player matching could use approximate level and availability, with an organiser deciding who joins. If one player withdraws, the system must explain whether the court booking remains valid.

Build around one venue's actual booking process first. Test a payment arriving after a hold expires and two groups attempting the same slot. Separate court capacity from player invitations so a successful match suggestion cannot accidentally create an overbooking or leave a paid group without a usable reservation.
