Introduction

In this section we will explain all the basics about our product and the components used to build it. Plus what options it provides.

PrematchCenter is perfectly tailored to be attractive for many different kinds of customers including sportsbook providers, bookmakers, sport portals and even independent users. You can make plenty of choices yourself and customize the tracker for your needs with a help of our Creative Department.

Tracker versions

We have two versions of trackers to pick from and whether you chose the first or the second one, there are great benefits, but please note there are some size limits to be aware of.

Version 1 - NATURAL

These trackers are perceived by our clients as a bit more fresh and colourful.

Size limits:

• 320px - minimum width no matter what the sport is (the trackers will not be visible below this value)
• 458px - minimum height (if "hints" feature is offered, it would increase the height by 44px)

Please note:
All the height values above are set for a full tracker with all the components. At these values we are sure all sports will work perfectly.
We may try to adapt a tracker to be a bit shorter in height, however this is not guaranteed and we may say no if the requested height difference is to big 
and causes problems.

As you can see this kind of a tracker requires a bit more space in terms of the height with all the components above to be seen (header, timeline etc.). It doesn't mean though you can't have a Natural tracker with a shorter than minimal height. However in this situation your decision would require removing a component like the header for example.

An example of how a client uses it:

Version 2 - LITE

More modern and elegant requiring less space to be implemented.

Size limits:

• 320px - minimum width no matter what the sport is (the trackers will not be visible below this value)
• 315px - minimum height (if "hints" feature is offered, it would increase the height by 35px)

This kind of a tracker is perfectly suited for clients that want to add it as an addition, but not over shadow what they already have. Not a typical bright star. The tabs, the icons, the fonts are tailored to fit less impressive size spaces and this is why the minimum limits here are set at a different level. It doesn't mean though you can't switch on a timeline for example. However if you did this, the height of your tracker would have to be bigger.

Tracker configurations

Once you know whether you want to go with the Natural or Lite version, the next step is to pick a template that would simply suit you the best.

In order to do so just visit our DEMO site: https://demo-livematchpro.statscore.com

In the right top corner there is a "Select template" option to let you know what configurations of the trackers are available .

Tracker components

Our trackers are made up of components and here we will write about what these components are responsible for. Be aware that it's up to you if you want to have all of the components (full tracker option) or not (like e.g. Timeline).

HEADER (red border)

This is the space where you can read what teams (Celtic U20 - Ross County U20), players (Djokovic Novak - Thiem Dominic) or what events you watch in sport like Formula 1 (Bahrain Grand Prix).

The header section also gives you the basic information about the event like:

• competition name
• starting date and time of a selected event
• actual time of an event when it's live
• main result
  • you can decide whether you want to have it among the partial results and stats or next to the team names
• partial results
• selected event stats
  • you can decide on yourself what stats to show in the header for each sport (default settings are set but can be changed)
    • you can check the list of available stats for each sport by picking a sport and opening the "Statistics" tab at: https://demo-livematchpro.statscore.com

The header can be customized itself :

• Main result, partial results and the stats section can be used (default setting) or switched off
• The header alone can be used as a separate configuration (you may want to place the header in one place of the website and the rest of the tracker as a separate configuration in another place)

TIMELINE (yellow border)

Timeline is used in team sports like Soccer, Basketball, Handball, Volleyball or Ice hockey. It provides a quick look at the key incidents during the event (the deeper coverage is presented in the "Incidents" tab).

Please note:
This component is not offered as default in the LITE version trackers (it would require an increase in the height of the tracker).

BANDS (purple border)

Advertising is an important issue, however our trackers are designed to be small widgets and there's not a lot of space for big banners. We did however find a space for two small 240px x 30px slots on the bands just below the pitch.

You can let us know during the integration process whether you would like to have these bands with a logo/banner on it or not.

Please note:
This component is not offered as default in the LITE version trackers (it would require an increase in the height of the tracker).

STATS BOX (blue border)

This section shows the last three incidents during a live event and a full list of stats by scrolling. This means you have it all on one live view (the list of stats is sorted the same way as you would find under the "Statistics" tab).

Please note:
This component is not offered as default in the LITE version trackers (it would require an increase in the height of the tracker).

TABS (green border)

A clickable section where the user decides what content to watch during the live event by choosing a tab. Each tab provides different information, either one updated in real-time or some static stats about the competition in general. The tabs may differ depending on the sport and it is up to you whether you want them all to be shown (default setting) or not.

1. Team sports tabs (Soccer, Ice hockey, Baseball etc.):

• Live relation - shows the event situation second by second with a graphical display of what is happening at the venue (default tab for every sport)
• Statistics - all the event statistics updated in real-time
• Incidents - all the important event incidents updated in real-time
• H2H - direct comparison of two teams/players taking part in an event
• Lineups - probable or actual starting lineups, substitutes and coaches for the selected event
• Standings - full competition standings, statistics, fixtures and results
• Collapse/Expand - a tab that allows you to hide a tracker to give you more space (there are two options to collapse the tracker)
  • header + tabs are visible
    
  • only tabs are visible
    

Please note:
If the tab content is to big, a classic scroll appears. However on request we can set up an expander instead. All the tab content will be shown by using a single 
click and there will be no scroll. Please note that the expander option results in a significant height change of the tracker.

2. Individual sports tabs (Tennis, Beach volleyball, Badminton etc.)

There is no Lineup tab and some sports may lack a Standings tab.

3. Multi participant sports (Formula 1, Ski jumping, Speedway etc.)

These sports may have some specially prepared tabs for each sport like Heats tab in Speedway or Lists tab in Formula 1. With what we have on offer growing all the time any new multi participant sports may receive some extra tabs, so we can reflect the situation at the venue in the best possible way.

You can read more about tabs in Tracker tab list section.

Look customization

During the integration process our Creative Department will prepare a customized design for you. It's going to be adjusted to your preferences, very often to the layout of an existing website.

We are able to change elements like: logos, icons, fonts, colours, etc.
