Locked-out RSVPs

Some events have an RSVP deadline set by the coach — after that time, the Y / M / N buttons are gray and don’t accept taps.

What it looks like

Above the buttons, an amber message:

🔒 RSVPs are closed for this event.

The Y / M / N buttons are still visible — your existing answer (if you made one in time) stays on display, locked in. New taps don’t go through.

Why coaches set this

Two common reasons:

• Race events — coaches need a final headcount well before the start to plan run orders and equipment.
• Practices with limited spots — to prevent last-minute scrambling.

Two kinds of deadlines

The coach can set either:

• A specific date and time (e.g. “Close at Friday 5pm” for a Saturday race).
• A relative window before the event (e.g. “Close 60 minutes before start” — moves with the event time if rescheduled).

You’ll see the closed banner once you cross the deadline. There’s no banner before the deadline; you just see the regular buttons.

I missed the deadline — now what?

• Contact your coach directly — text, email, the Telegram channel. They can mark you in (or out) manually from their side. Coaches can always override the lock-out.

I RSVPed before the deadline and now want to change it

The button is locked once the deadline passes, even for previously saved answers. Same path — contact the coach.
