Answers.Text: To the question "is this correct?": I'm saying yes, that's correct that someone who registers after the event will not get a reminder set for sometime before the event.  However, re-reading the question I was answering as if the 2nd sentence of 1) said they will _not_ get the mail, along with a reason why.  But you're right - that's not what Andy is saying.  Now I'm questioning whether they get the mail or not too!

Title: Event Scheduled Reminders set for *Before* start dates won't send to participants registering *After* the start date
ThreadText: # Event Scheduled Reminders set for *Before* start dates won't send to participants registering *After* the start date
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-06-09)
  
  I'm hoping to confirm that I understand the following correctly, based on [this description](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/365#note_8253):
  
  1. I have an event with a scheduled reminder set to go at a certain time *before* the event. A contact who registers after that time, and before the event starts, will get the scheduled reminder. A contact who registers at *any* time *after* the event will *not* get the scheduled reminder. Is this correct?
  2. After that, if I set up a scheduled reminder to go at a certain time *after* the event, then *all* event participants will get that email once that time has passed. Is that also correct?
  3. Further, point 2 is true even if I set up the scheduled reminder *after that time has passed*. Is this also correct?

  1) Yes. If you have a reminder 2 weeks before saying "Just 2 weeks before our fabulous event ..." then you don't want that being sent to your last-minute registrants.
  
  2) Yes. Your before and after reminders are independent.
  
  3) Not sure, but I doubt it. If you set it *before* the sending time then it would be sent. ie if it is now one week after the event and you configure something to go out 2 weeks after the event it should work.
