# Tournaments Prematch

From the Tournaments pre-match section, the user has an overview of the current configuration at the sport, category, or tournament levels (as shown in the screenshot below).

If no default templates are available in the config section after logging in, it will be necessary to create these initial templates to start receiving pre-match data. The process of creating a new template is explained in the following section (see *Error! Reference source not found. Templates*).

From the Tournaments Pre-match section, the users can observe the current configuration at sport, category or tournament level (red boxes in the screenshot below). It is also possible to find if there are tournaments in any sport or category that have no template assigned (by activating the unassigned tournaments filter). The configurations that can be viewed here are: pre-match templates, tournament activation, bookmaker list and alert factor (green box below).

From this section the user can also assign one of the created templates as the ‘default’ template for a particular category (purple box above), which is known as a Category template. This will be used for all future tournaments of that category by default, so they can be offered immediately as soon as they are added to the system. This ‘default’ template will also be applied to any tournaments in that category that do not already have a template configured. Once this default template has been selected the user must press save to action the change.

The user can additionally filter the tournaments currently displayed under the current sport/category/league parameters by their assigned template (blue box in the screen above).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sportradar.com/ctrl/guide/configuration/tournaments-prematch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
