A court or pitch that sits empty most of the day is money standing still. Dili's players are actively looking for places to play — the venues that publish their hours and prices are the ones that fill them.

What works

• Price by the hour, honestly. One clear price for daytime, one for evenings under lights. Hidden extras kill repeat bookings.
• Protect your peak hours. Evenings and weekends sell themselves — use standing club slots for the quiet mornings and afternoons.
• Have a no-show rule. A simple, published rule — for example, book again only after settling a missed hour — keeps everyone serious without scaring customers away.
• Keep the surface playable. Lines visible, nets whole, lights working. Players talk — condition is your marketing.
• Take both kinds of money. Cash at the door will stay normal in Timor-Leste for years — but SOT Coin bookings are paid before arrival, which is the end of the empty-hour gamble.

Sports of Timor venue booking puts your availability calendar online, confirms bookings instantly, records every payment — cash or SOT Coin — and shows you your earnings per court, per week. Register your interest and be a founding venue.
