# Split session bookings evenly across resources (on request)

For activities like bowling or axe throwing, where guests take turns on a resource, splitting a large group across adjacent resources keeps everyone playing together while reducing wait times between turns.

By default in ROLLER, when a booking contains more guests than a single resource can hold (and the product allows multiple resources per booking), guests fill the first resource before spilling into the next. This might result in 6 guests on the first lane and 1 on the second.

> [!NOTE]
> This feature is on request only. If you would like to use this for your venue, reach out to your customer success manager or the [support team.](/v1/docs/contact-roller-support).

## How it works

This guide shows you how to set up the **split evenly** feature for session passes and party packages.

When enabled, if a booking is bigger than a single resource can hold, ROLLER will automatically split the group evenly across the minimum number of adjacent resources needed.

## Requirements

To use this feature:

- **All resources need the same capacity.** The calculation is based on the capacity of the first resource, so if one resource has a different capacity to another (eg 6 vs. 8), the even split won't calculate correctly.
- **Variations must match.** If your product has multiple variations, every variation needs the same split-evenly configuration — you can't have split evenly enabled on one variation and not another for the same resource.

## Set up split evenly for session passes or party packages

1. From Venue Manager, go to **Products** and create or edit a session pass product.
2. In a ticket variation, in the advanced settings select **Split guests evenly between resources**.
3. Once enabled, decide which variations to apply the split evenly feature to.
4. Select the **Split evenly** checkbox for each variation you want to enable this for.
5. Select **Save**.

## FAQs

**Can I use split evenly on some resources but not others in the same product?**

Yes, for session pass products this is configured per resource. The exception is multi-variation products, where every variation needs matching configuration.

**What happens if my resources have different capacities?**

The even split won't calculate correctly. All resources involved need the same capacity, since the calculation is based on the first resource's capacity.
