onlineResistrationAvailable tag

   Hey,
   
   when i do an API call for events and the onlineResistrationAvailable tag says "true", will that ever change when registration closes? How many days before a race do you actually close Online Registration? Is there some tag I can check to see if the online registration for an event is still active other than that tag? Some combination of tags and/or dates?
   
   I just don't want my mobile app to show that it's available when it's not. Any tips?
   
   Thanks,
   Mark

   Hey Mark,
   
   This one's a bit tricky as registration closes for several reasons, one of which being the event is full. Most event directors offer both offline and online registration, and we tend not to get offline registration numbers back in our system. But if an event sells out early, event directors do "turn off" registration for their event. Unfortunately, this is not represented in the API, yet. We're working on this as it affects other systems within our network too. And are expecting to have a resolution later this year.
   
   In the meantime, I recommend using eventStartDate - 1 to determine if registration is closed.
