Screenshot evidence

The screenshot shows a public Riftbound event page for Tuesday Evening Unleashed Pre-Rift Event at Collectible Tags, May 5, 2026 6:00 PM EDT, with 0 players and capacity: 0 players. The submitter titled it “Collectable tags not real event.”

Problem

Players can encounter an event that looks publicly listed but has a zero-player/zero-capacity state and no clear explanation that registration is unavailable, invalid, or not a real event. That can create wasted trips and trust issues around whether listed events are legitimate.

Success criteria

• [ ] Events with zero capacity or invalid registration capacity are either hidden from player discovery or clearly labeled as unavailable/not open.
• [ ] The event detail page explains why a player cannot register instead of presenting a normal event shell.
• [ ] Support/ops can identify whether the state came from template/configuration, store setup, or platform data.
