Event Calendar Category Exclusion

We have two discount event types that need to be displayed on different calendars.
Training Events: https://aegisacademy.com/schedule/community/course-calendar/
Daily repeating hourly event tickets for recreational facility use:
https://aegisacademy.com/schedule/test-recreational-shooting-calendar/

The second calendar has set up a single day on June 1, 2018 so you can see what we are trying to achieve / avoid. Nearly every day will look very similar to that or more recreational shooting hours which would excessively clutter the training events calendar which displays everything else…

a) Have we devised a means of excluding a certain type of category?
b) Can we use the display only X category on the recreational calendar and assign a second category called training to all events we want displayed on the training calendar?
c) Is there another means of accomplishing this we haven’t considered?

I have see a few requests for similar problems but have not seen anything in the recent past. If it is in the development pipeline, do we have any idea when it will be complete?

Thanks!

A few solutions for this include:

1) Add some CSS to your site to hide the category you don’t want to show:

.cat-to-exclude {
display:none;
}

2) Set a limit to the number of event date times per day that get displayed with a short code parameter like this:

[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR max_events_per_day=1]
