Booking Method

The free-of-charge sessions^{Note 1} will be allocated through balloting. Details are as follows:

Members of the public can make ballot applications via the SmartPLAY system as individual users in accordance with the above timetable. Each application may cover a maximum of three choices. Applicants may revise the choices in their lodged applications via the SmartPLAY system before the application closing time (i.e. 11:59 pm on September 22). Successful applicants will be notified by the SmartPLAY system.

SmartPLAY users who have not been allocated any free session by ballot or have not made any application may book the remaining sessions on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with the above timetable (i.e. on September 25) through the following channels:

(i) "iAM Smart" users: to log into the My SmartPLAY mobile app through “iAM Smart” with priority to make bookings from 7am;

(ii) Users not intending to use "iAM Smart": to log into the My SmartPLAY mobile app, the official SmartPLAY website, smart self-service stations or service counters at various leisure venues to make bookings from 7.15am; and

(iii) Users aged under 11: as "iAM Smart" is for use by persons aged 11 or above, SmartPLAY users aged under 11 may make bookings through the My SmartPLAY mobile app from 7am.

Each successful applicant will only be allocated one free session^{Note 2}, whether through balloting or first-come, first-served booking.
