# General Information

## Purpose

In the following you will find our Quick Start Guide, which will enable you to get our Sim-Play Sports for the Live Match Tracker via the Unified Feed up and running quickly and to visualize the game play.

If you have any questions, please contact our 24/7/365 support team. They will be glad to assist you via email at <support@sportradar.com>.

## Product names and abbreviations

Our Sim-Play products were formerly known as Virtual In-Play sports. Therefore, some of the terms and abbreviations had to stay the same for backward compatibility:

* Sim-Play ATP Legends and Sim-Play Tennis are referred to as `VTI`
* Sim-Play Cricket is referred to as `VCI`
* Sim-Play Baseball is referred to as `VBI`

We believe the name Sim-Play better represents the unique live nature of our products, aligning them more closely with real sports and enhancing your integration experience.

Sim-Play ATP Legends and Sim-Play Tennis are two distinct tennis products. While both products share the same producer ID, they have different tournament IDs.

Access to each product requires clients to have the equivalent packages.

## Requirements

To integrate Sim-Play Sports using this Quick Start Guide, please ensure the following:

* You have an existing Unified Feed integration either direct or via SDK.
* We recommend utilizing the most recent SDK version at all times.

## How to subscribe to Sim-Play Sports?

## Sim-Play Sports Unified Feed producers

In contrast to LiveOdds, each Sim-Play Sport is implemented as a separate producer in the Unified Odds Feed:

<table><thead><tr><th>Product</th><th data-type="number">Producer ID</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Sim-Play ATP Legends (VTI)</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>Sim-Play Tennis (VTI)</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>Sim-Play Cricket (VCI)</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>Sim-Play Baseball (VBI)</td><td>15</td></tr></tbody></table>

All the producers can always be checked on the `Available Producers` endpoint of the API or via `ProducerManage`r (Java) / `ProducersProvider` (.NET) interfaces in the SDK. Each message in the feed contains the information about the producer, so it's easy to identify.

## Sport entities URNs

Sports entities that belong to Sim-Play Sports (seasons, matches, stages, etc.) use specific URN prefixes, so they can be easily identified.

Sim-Play Tennis prefix is `vti` e.g. `vti:match:xxxxxxxxxxxx`

| Product                    | URN prefix |
| -------------------------- | ---------- |
| Sim-Play ATP Legends (VTI) | `vti`      |
| Sim-Play Tennis (VTI)      | `vti`      |
| Sim-Play Cricket (VCI)     | `vci`      |
| Sim-Play Baseball (VBI)    | `vbi`      |

## Tournament IDs

Here you will find the Sim-Play tournaments IDs according to respective sport:

<table><thead><tr><th valign="top">Product</th><th>Tournament ID</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Sim-Play ATP Legends (VTI)</td><td><p>42619 (1990s Tournament)</p><p>42621 (2000s Tournament)</p><p>42623 (2010s Tournament)</p><p>42625 (2020s Tournament)</p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Sim-Play Tennis (VTI)</td><td>23457</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Sim-Play Cricket (VCI)</td><td>34172</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Sim-Play Baseball (VBI)</td><td>29702</td></tr></tbody></table>
