Many of the places on omelee are public places to play, open to everyone. There's no guarantee a court, pitch or table will be free on arrival, and posting a game here does not book or reserve the place. Its users have no special claim to a place; anyone can turn up and use it, with or without the app.
When a place is already in use, the friendly option is to ask to join, share the space, or take turns.
We want omelee to be an inclusive, trustworthy community, somewhere anyone can show up and feel at ease. That comes down to treating other people with respect and courtesy, both in the app and out on the pitch.
There's no room for harassment or discrimination of any kind, including anything targeting a person's age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, nationality, appearance, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We reserve the right to remove content and suspend accounts when someone crosses that line, so the community stays welcoming for everyone.

The places come from OpenStreetMap, and we map both fully public places and ones restricted to customers or members. Where the data says so, we show details like a fee. But because that data is incomplete, how a place can be accessed isn't always clear on omelee. A place may in fact charge a fee, limit entry to customers, need booking ahead, keep opening hours we don't list, or even have closed for good. It's a known limitation of open, community-made data.
So it's worth a quick check before heading out. Games can still be posted at places like that, as long as the place's own rules are followed: expect to pay any entry fee, book ahead where that's required, and keep to its opening times. Access has to be legitimate: being on the map grants no permission to enter anywhere, and private or closed places must not be trespassed.
Missing or wrong details can be improved at the source (see Add & modify facilities), and the map picks up the change on the next sync.
