Create any event once and let it run on repeat. Players sign up and pay online,
and your calendar fills itself, no phone tag, no manual rosters.

Use cases:

- **Recurring classes**: weekly lessons and clinics that rebook themselves.
- **Tournaments**: entry fees and sign-ups handled online, then
  [run the draw and leaderboard](/guides/tournaments/overview).
- **Round robin events, open play, league nights, mixers, and more**: fill your
  off-peak hours.

## Create an event

1. In the sidebar, open **Events → Calendar**.
2. Click **Create Event**.
3. Set the **date and time**, and whether it **repeats** (for recurring classes
   and league nights).
4. Set the **price**, you can charge members and non-members differently (for
   example $20 general entry, $15 for [members](/guides/growth/memberships)).
5. Publish it, and the event appears on your [booking site](/guides/bookings/booking-website)
   for customers to join.

This is what customers will see on your public booking page.

## Repeating sessions vs. multi-session packages

Repeating sessions and multi-session packages are essentially the same thing. The
main difference is when the customer pays.

### Repeating sessions

The normal repeating events you would expect.

- Customers sign up and pay for each repeating session on the calendar.
- They choose which dates they want, attending some and skipping others.
- Best for a recurring social event every Friday morning, where customers decide
  whether to pay for and attend a specific Friday.

### Multi-session packages

Customers pay upfront and are automatically signed up for all of the following
repeating sessions.

- One payment enrolls the customer in every session in the package.
- Customers do not have to keep paying for each event date.
- Best for a tournament with a single entry fee, or a pickleball group class that
  costs $200 and includes 5 sessions (pay once, enrolled in all 5).
