Does anyone know of software that allows customers to book billiard tables online while giving the club tools to efficiently manage reservations? Ideally, it should handle features like setting match durations, and tracking table availability, with the ability to adjust as bookings or tournament conditions change. Any recommendations?

What systems have you looked at and where did they fall short?
A local club -- two tables in a commercial space -- has such a system. They should be able to give you more info. There is no staff at the club -- all of the scheduling and billing is done online.

We’ve been using bookgame.io at our club, and it’s been great for online reservations, managing table bookings, and tracking availability. It even lets us control the table lighting during reservations. Simple to use and works perfectly for billiards. Definitely worth a look.

You might try posting this to the Room Owner Discussion forum.
If it was me, I'd go to my local college CPT or CO SCI and talk to the instructor, get a student to build you exactly what you want, may even work it into a project where they make money and get credits.
The problem with this is when the student goes away -- and they nearly always do -- you have zero support for fixes or improvements. Most programmers at the college level write unsupportable software.
There are already working systems designed for this purpose. They have an installed base and support.
Yes. Software world is a lot different from hardware, where traditionally you could hire a student to make a few dozen knobs or gears in their machine shop during a weekend. This doesn’t exist for software.
