INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: The Events List widget allows clubs to display a scrollable list of upcoming events directly on their website or other platforms, such as a front desk smart TV. This widget offers players and visitors a simple way to view event details, check availability, and register — all without logging into the full member portal.
Note: Widgets are designed to run in a web browser. For example, system users can copy and paste a widget link onto their website or display it on a front desk smart TV. If a widget link is tapped inside the CourtReserve mobile app or branded mobile app, it will open in the device’s default browser, where players will interact with the widget.
Use Cases:
Display a list-style view of all upcoming events for easy browsing on the club website.
Allow players to register directly for classes, clinics, and social events.
Embed the list on front desk monitors to showcase upcoming activities to walk-ins and visitors.
Highlight registration availability and remaining spots to help drive participation.
Note: Widgets can be configured with multiple filters to control which events are displayed. If you're unsure why a specific event isn't appearing, verify that the "Public Embed Codes/Widget" option is enabled on the event’s Event Setup tab.

Best for clubs that want players to see all available dates and times at a glance.
