# Lineups

If the XML configuration option *Send lineups for matches where this is available* is activated, the lineups XML will be sent over\
the feed automatically. The XML contains the player lineups for both teams, and is currently available for:

* American Football
* Baseball
* Basketball
* CS:GO
* Dota2
* Handball
* Ice hockey
* League of Legends
* Rugby
* Soccer

The lineups XML is sent immediately after subscribing to a match, and it’s also sent automatically every time the lineup changes.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Lineups will be only available for DC (Deeper Coverage) matches.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

The player id element in the lineup message will match the player id element in the case of an event such as a goal. The following XML example illustrates how this looks in the feed after a goal in a soccer game:
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/live-data/introduction/system-communication/xml-messages-sent-from-the-betradar-system/lineups.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.
