It should be simplified.
Needlessly complicated? Not really...think about it.

Within The Villages, there are 58 golf courses; over 70,000 homes; and over 150,000 residents, all of whom are potential golfers. This isn't your local muni course where some guy on the phone is jotting down tee times on a calendar.

Each and every day, the tee time system is filling thousands of tee times with thousands of golfers. For the most part, it does so in a manner that is fair to everyone. I agree that most people probably don't understand exactly how the system works, but do you really need to? Knowledge of how all those lines of code mesh together to manage a very complex environment is not required. As long as you understand how to use the system, and maximize your chances of getting tee times, you are good to go.
