Practice court demand & desk-staffing estimator
Estimate peak practice-court demand from your draw size and available courts, and check the ATP staffing requirements that kick in by draw size. This is a planning estimate, not an official tour court-count minimum.

Tour staffing requirements
- · Phone-line minimum applies at the 96-draw level.
- · Dedicated WhatsApp person required once the draw is bigger than 48.
- · Experienced desk manager mandated at Masters 1000.
Notes
- Estimate only, the tours publish minimum practice-court counts per category that your tournament must confirm.
- Assumes each player wants one practice slot/day and peak slots pair two players per court.
- Peak demand exceeds capacity: spread bookings off-peak, add courts, or use off-site practice.
