| competitionId | each `competitionId` has a specific `sportId` (at the moment `sportId` is always golf)                    | there is a fixed list of `competitionIds` eg PGA, Euro Tour, LPGA, etc.                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

#### Market Type List and Market Behaviour <a href="#market-type-list-and-market-behaviour" id="market-type-list-and-market-behaviour"></a>

Please request access to the following [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AMb0eBCrLv2YMG41og0htpDEN13NzbUbzUkX7_fmmP4/edit?usp=sharing) for comprehensive trading info, including:

* All `marketTypeIds` , this is the field we suggested setting limits against
* Examples of `marketIds` , `marketNames` and `selectionNames` per each `marketTypeId`
* Market behaviour, for example at what point of a golf event a certain market opens, suspends, closes
* Margins

#### Important trading information

* The following validations are carried out by BetLink backend before making bet placement request to the operator:
  * price validation (there is no need for traders to validate or manage prices)
  * market, selection, event validation (there is no need for trading team to manage status of event or whether the selection/market/event exists or correlates to its defined selection/market/event.)
* In the event of loss of connection to BetLink Backend or upstream odds provider the BetLink UI will suspend all selections
* Currently only support singles, when multiples and complex bets are introduced BetLink will provide field \`betType\` and carry out validations around whether or not markets are related and can be combined.
* Currently support 3 `competitionIds`:
  * comp.golf\_1320877 (LPGA Tour)
  * comp.golf\_1320865 (PGA Tour)
  * comp.golf\_1320867 (European Tour)
