The multisport Game Tracker is a unique widget that has the capability to be used in different sports, so far and at the time of the creation of this document it has support for Football, Basketball and American Football.
This is possible because using the fixtureId (match identifier) the widget can identify the sport to display.

Components
Our game trackers have different shared components that will allow our customers to access different types of information, these can also be used independently as required by the customer.
Component | Description | Image |
|---|---|---|
Scoreboard | The scoreboard is a component that allows us to visualize the state of the match in real time, we can obtain information related to:
|  |
Tabs | The tabs are components that allow us to navigate through the different pieces of content that the widget has available in a particular sport. |  |
Court/Pitch | The court is the component that displays the different playing fields and the main actions occurring in the matches. These are displayed as real-time animations. |  |
Team Stats | Team stats is a component that is responsible for displaying a series of cards with content related to statistics of the teams in the match, you can find information such as (in football GT):
Note: According to the sport this information may change |  |
Lineups | It is a component that is responsible for displaying the players of both teams with their respective positions, you can also find information like:
Depending on the sport the component displays the list of players who started playing the game and those who started on the bench. |  |
Play By Play | It is a component that is responsible for displaying the most important plays minute by minute, where the user can navigate through the different stages of the match and has the ability to view the highlights of the entire match. |  |
Styling
Our components have been developed using material UI tools, this has allowed us to create a theme that groups the most important styles of the component and makes it easy to make changes in the style of the widget such as:
Name | Applies to | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
primaryColor.main | Possession indicator, Tab highlight, buttons |
| Color used to highlight elements, is implemented in backgrounds, icons and some decorative elements. |
background.default | Game Tracker background |
| Background color for the Game Tracker |
text.primary | Most elements |
| Text color used by default in most elements. |
typography.fontFamily | Most elements |
| Font to be used in the Game Tracker |
By default, we have the light and dark versions.
You can find detailed default colors for both versions in the PDF below:
Version | Image |
|---|---|
Light |  |
Dark |  |
As you could see above, the game tracker in light and dark version looks amazing, however we know that for our customers it is important that each Game Tracker matches the look and feel of the parent site, for this reason we have a series of attributes ready to be modified according to the interest of each customer.
All code related documentation is reference for developers.
Background Color
To change the background color, we use the attribute in the partialTheme, inside background with the name default, for example we will change the background to a gray color.
"partialTheme": {
"background": {
"default": "#424949"
}
}
The result is as follows
Text
To change the text color, we use the attribute in the partialTheme, inside text with the name primary, for example we will change the text color to a pink color.
"partialTheme": {
"text": {
"primary": "#151B34"
}
}
The result is as follows
Primary Color
To change the primary color we use the attribute in the partialTheme, inside primary with the name main, for example we will change the primary color to a cyan color, (focus on tabs)
"partialTheme": {
"primary": {
"main": "#52F9E5"
}
}
The result is as follows
Typography
To change the primary color we use the attribute in the partialTheme, inside typography with the name fontFamily, for example we will change the font family to Roboto Condensed
"partialTheme": {
"typography": {
"fontFamily": "Roboto Condensed"
}
}
The result is as follows
Customization for sports or competition
In order to allow customers to configure the multisport game tracker for sports or competitions we have created a new standard that has the following structure.
"components": {
"component":{
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
...
},
"default": true
}
],
"override": []
}
}
The configuration is at the component level and the intention is that each component has two essential attributes, defaultBehavior and override.
These two objects exist so that we can have a configuration so that as Genius Sports we can have a default configuration (defaultBehavior) and customers can use the (override) object for their customizations.
defaultBehavior: Will identify the default configurations of the components with the behaviors that we want as Genius Sportsoverride: Will be the list of configurations requested by the customer for particular cases that will be prioritized against thedefaultBehavior.
These attributes will be conformed by a list of objects that have the following characteristics
sportIds: List the IDs of the sports that have a different behavior.competitionIds: List the IDs of the competitions that have different behaviors.props: It is an object that contains the configurations that will be applied to the components.default: It is a boolean value that will indicate if it is the default configuration, this value should only be true for one object in the whole list.
The order of prioritization is as follows:
competitionIdssportIdsdefault
Supported components
This structure is recent and our goal is that all our components can have this configuration option, we will talk about the components that we have enabled with their respective examples.
Note: The sports ids are as follows
Basketball: “4”
Football (soccer): “10”
American Football: “17”
Show/Hide team logos
Default configuration:
"showTeamLogos":{
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true
},
"default": true
}
],
"override": []
}
Customization:
For example, if a customer wants to configure all game trackers to hide the logos, the next step is to add an object in the override attribute as follows.
"showTeamLogos":{
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true
},
"default": true
}
],
"override": [
{
"sportIds": ["4", "10", "17"], <------- Restricted ids are added
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": false <-------- Hide logos
},
"default": true
}
]
}
You can also add more conditions, for example if you want to disable the logos for Football and for an American Football competition only, you can combine them like this:
"showTeamLogos":{
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true
},
"default": true
}
],
"override": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true <--- enabling the logos
},
"default": true <--- defines its default object
},
{
"sportIds": ["10"], <--- restricted sport (Football/Soccer)
"competitionIds": ["1035"], <--- restricted competition (CFL)
"props": {
"value": false <--- disable the logos
},
"default": false <--- Only one object can exist by default
}
]
}
Change the Basketball court color
Although the Basketball court color can be customized, we always recommend consulting first on what clients want to do to maintain the product integrity.
"partialTheme": {
"palette": {
"mode": "dark",
"background": {
"default": "#000000"
}
},
"components": {
"GameTrackerBasketballCourt": { <--- this will change the basketball court color only
"styleOverrides": {
"basketballCourtSVG": {
"color": "rgb(116, 86, 55)"
}
}
}
}
},
Is the away team first
Default configuration:
"components": {
"isAwayTeamFirstBySport": {
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [], <--- It is not necessary to put sports and competitions
"competitionIds": [], <--- in the default because this approach works as a
"props": { black list.
"value": false
},
"default": true
},
{
"sportIds": ["17"], <--- By default American football has this set to true
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true
}
}
],
"override": []
}
}
Customization:
For example, if a customer wants to configure all game trackers to show the away team first, the next step is to add an object in the override attribute as follows.
"components": {
"isAwayTeamFirstBySport": {
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": false
},
"default": true
},
{
"sportIds": ["17"],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true
}
}
],
"override": [
{
"sportIds": ["4", "10", "17"], <-- Show away first ids are added
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true <-------- away team first
},
"default": true
}
]
}
You can also add more conditions, for example if you want to Show the away team first for Football and for an American Football competition only, you can combine them like this:
"showTeamLogos":{
"defaultBehavior": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": false
},
"default": true
},
{
"sportIds": ["17"],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": true
}
}
],
"override": [
{
"sportIds": [],
"competitionIds": [],
"props": {
"value": false <--- do not show the away first
},
"default": true <--- defines its default object
},
{
"sportIds": ["10"], <--- show away first sport (Football/Soccer)
"competitionIds": ["1035"], <--- show away first competition (CFL)
"props": {
"value": true <--- enable away firts
},
"default": false <--- Only one object can exist by default
}
]
}
Teams Colors
In the configuration you will find the following values that will allow you to define the colors that will be displayed on the teams, giving the possibility that the customer can always display the same colors for the home and the away team.
"properties": {
"components": {
"alwaysUseThemeTeamColors": true, <- force to use custom colors
},
"partialTheme": {
"palette": {
"custom": {
"awayTeam": "#FAF", <- color defined for away team
"homeTeam": "#555" <- color defined for home team
}
}
},
},
Default configuration
Some teams bring colors configured within an object that comes from our data services, when we can not get the colors from the data we use the following default colors:
Team | Color |
|---|---|
Home |
|
Away |
|
Customization
We have added a section from the configuration manager to facilitate the customization of these colors.
Fallback
When a customer wants to configure the colors of the teams he can assign the values in the theme home team color and the theme away team color, these colors will be shown as a second option when the colors are not found in the received data.
Mandatory
If the customer wants to force all teams to show the configured colors, he must activate the option "Always use the teams colors".
Advanced customization
Note: this kind of customizations must be approved by the UX team to preserve the essence of our Game Tracker.
If the customer requires an advanced customization, please consult the following link.
