021 Live Matchcenter open and close times

In the context of live matchcenter, facing the need to determine opening and closing times for live matchcenters for display in the native app,

we decided to use programmatically determined times relative to the KO time based on Europe/Amsterdam (start 8 AM Matchday, start polling KO-1H, end polling KO+4H, end KO+8H) and neglected managing these times in Sanity, to achieve reduced human error and consolidate business logic in the API as a single source of truth,

because previously manual setups leaded to errors.
