    *sigh* .... no choice bro .... can't help it ...... that's the way it is. :(

    here's a tip ..... try to book again immediately after the first 1-hour grace period is up ..... some courts may become available again. :)
    ( eg; SSC Sports Hall open for booking at 7am, check again at 8am sharp onwards )

    I am very sure that you are not targeting those hot-spot sports hall & peak hours (8-10PM) and I am 100% certain that human fingers are still faster than this script.

    I am sending my booking script every seconds from 6.58AM - 7.05AM and yet I am still unable to get a court at either delta or jurong east sports hall. It's still beaten flat for 2 consecutive days by human fingers.

    Most likely? ..... i too get stumped at times.

    Immediately once the booking is 'open', it's also 'booked' in the same instant ! :eek:

    I quite use to web scripting like Imacros, or other type of scripting for MMO. Quite fun to make script to try out. But as all things are, there is no guarantee script will beat some super human hand or script can beat other script...

    Is it the Olympic effects??? It is getting from hard to almost impossible to get a court in peak to non-peak (early as 7AM in Sat & Sun) hours in Singapore!!! Been searching from SH to CCs to no avail !!!

    In HK, the same problem happens in difficulty booking courts. Some very enterprising people actually make a business out of helping book courts charging a fee on top if the court fee. I am sure the same happens in Singapore.
