Event Feeds
Schedules & Gameday Info
Regular Season Schedule
Regular season schedules are released throughout the summer, typically being announced individually by teams or conferences. Conference and non-conference schedules can also be released separately. As games are announced, game records will be updated and the announced games are made available in the various schedule endpoints.
Preseason and In-Season Tournaments
Each year, there are multiple preseason and in-season tournaments, usually held at neutral venues. Many of these tournaments use bracket-style formats. As each round/game is known, schedule records are updated to add the new game to our feeds. Since these games count towards team's regular season records, each game will have a SeasonType = 1.
March Madness and Selection Sunday
- Day and time of games are in the Eastern Time Zone (ET).
- The women’s college basketball brackets are not updated live, meaning games will appear following the announcement of the entire bracket seeding, with game times.
- As the tournament progresses, games are created once matchups are known for each subsequent tournament round.
Scores & Game State
Scores and Game State are updated live during all games, along with the final score being provided after the game is completed and verified.
- Score includes the score for each quarter plus the final score for both teams.
- Game State includes things like score, current period, game clock, time remaining, and if the game is in overtime.
Final Only (No Game State)
- Final score results are delivered after the event is final and are delivered in quarterly and total score values. Final scores are available around 5-10 minutes after each game concludes.
