How do I get these early prices?

Match State
SIS eSports content utilizes the already familiar MultiSportV2 match state contract, which is explained in greater detail here: Multi Sport V2
The MatchStatus field includes the real-time minute from when the match starts (not always the same as the scheduled start time).
The real-time minutes do not take in-game pauses into account, it is purely a count of real-time minutes. The first minute will be 1' and when 60 seconds have passed since the match started (in real-time), it will change to 2' etc.
When the
...
matchStatus is not during a half or a quarter (i.e. before start or between quarters), no minute value is appended (e.g. "NotStarted", "Break before 4th Quarter", "Finished" etc)
Example format as follows for eSoccer and eBasketball respectively:
• 00:00-00:59 = "1st Half (1')" or "1st Quarter (1')"
• 01:00-01:59 = "1st Half (2') " or "1st Quarter (2')"
eSoccer
When four minutes have elapsed in an SIS eSoccer half, the count continues to "1st Half (5')" etc. The operator can choose to display this as "1st Half (4+1')" should they wish.
For eSoccer, the second half count in the payload will always start as "2nd Half (5')" regardless of how many minutes were played in the first half.
eBasketball
When five minutes have elapsed in an eBasketball quarter, the count continues to "1st Quarter (6')" etc.
The second quarter count in the payload will always start as "2nd Quarter (6')" regardless of how many minutes were played in the first quarter.
The third quarter count in the payload will always start as "3rd Quarter (11')" regardless of how many minutes were played in the first two quarters.
The fourth quarter count in the payload will always start as "4th Quarter (16')" regardless of how many minutes were played in the first three quarters.
For overtime, the count would start as "Overtime 1 (21') " as matches are 20 minutes in real time duration. Second overtime period always starts at “Overtime 2 (24')”.
Optional Sport Mapping
We are able to provide and send out the SIS eSports events either under eSports or the respective sports (Football for EA FC and Basketball for NBA 2K).
This is done by changing the Sport property (both the Sport ID and the Name) within the Integration Service’s Fixture message from eSports to the respective Sport. No such changes are made anywhere else in the data feed and this change would only apply to the Fixture messages.
| Expand | ||
|---|---|---|

Regular Fixture message would look like this: We are able to send out the event as below: |
This should ease the mapping in order to display the SIS eSports events under their respective sports, which has proven to drive and increase revenue and fan engagement.
Please let us know should you wish to receive the events under Football and Basketball sports.
Streaming
SIS eSports streaming service will be auto-booked for the event once the trading and data are booked. Therefore you will not find an option to manually book the streaming game in the data services console. In UAT we do not have real streaming events and that should be tested with regular continuous streaming events, but the autobooking flow works in Production.
SIS eSports streaming content is delivered in the same way as any other streaming content
Once you are prepared to go live, we will also require an email address to which SIS can send notifications regarding schedule changes or fixture deletions.
