Who can book a class: eligibility rules
A women-only class, a kids mat, a blue-belt-and-up sparring session: set it once and the app enforces it.
The Audience section
Every class form (new or edit) has an optional Audience section with three independent controls:
- Gender: All, Women only, or Men only
- Age range: a minimum and maximum age, for kids classes, teens, or masters
- Minimum rank: from White up to Black, for advanced or sparring sessions
What members see
Members who don't match simply can't book: the class is filtered from their bookable schedule, and the kiosk applies the same rules at check-in. There's no awkward door conversation, the app already had it.
How age is decided
Age comes from the member's date of birth. Because DOB is optional, MatPilot is conservative: a member without one is treated as an adult, so they'll never slip into a kids class, and a kids-only class stays kids-only. The schedule's Adults / Kids filter chips use the same logic.
Good patterns
- "BJJ for Women" with gender Women only
- "Little Grapplers" with an age range of 5 to 12
- "Advanced sparring" with minimum rank Blue
