Automatic Cancellation Rules for Activities

In Nettla, Activity Types and Sessions can have automatic cancellation rules to help you optimize your schedule and improve activity occupancy.

Club controlled settings

As a club admin, you define:

  • Minimum number of participants required for the activity

  • How many hours before start the system should auto-cancel the session if the minimum hasn’t been met

These two settings work together to determine whether an activity goes ahead or is automatically cancelled.

Last-Minute Player Cancellations

To prevent last-minute cancellations from causing an entire session to be cancelled:

  • The same auto-cancel time window is used to control how late a player can cancel their spot

  • If a player tries to cancel after the cancellation rule has taken effect, they’ll be shown a message directing them to contact the club

This gives you, as an operator, control:

  • If you remove the player manually → the session may auto-cancel if it drops below the minimum

  • If you keep the player → the session stays active, even if it’s below the threshold

This system ensures fair cancellation handling and helps you avoid losing full sessions due to last-minute dropouts.
