# Toilet Break

## Overview

A toilet break can be taken by either, or both teams, at any changeover between games including before the start of the first game.

## Packets

After a 'Game Won' packet has been received and one or both teams have requested a toilet break, the next packet that will be received will be a 'Toilet Break' packet, e.g for one team (Team A):

* Toilet Break JSON

```
{
  "timestamp": "2022-06-28T13:13:24.669Z",
  "eventElementType": "MatchStatusUpdate",
  "matchTime": "01:34:09",
  "seqNum": 438,
  "matchStatus": {
    "umpireCountry": "AUS",
    "umpire": "J. BLOM",
    "teamAPlayer1": "J. SOUSA",
    "tossChooser": "Serve",
    "matchState": {
      "team": "TeamA",
      "state": "ToiletBreak",
      "locationTimestamp": "2022-06-28T14:13:23"
    },
    "teamBPlayer1": "R. GASQUET",
    "numSets": 5,
    "scoringType": "LastSetTiebreak12",
    "firstServer": "TeamA",
    "tossWinner": "TeamB",
    "courtNum": 15,
    "teamAPlayersDetails": {
      "player1Id": "SH90",
      "player1Country": "POR"
    },
    "teamBPlayersDetails": {
      "player1Id": "G628",
      "player1Country": "FRA"
    },
    "umpireCode": "QNCAAA",
    "tieBreakType": "TieBreakInFinalSet"
  }
}
```

Once the team have finished their toilet break, the 'Toilet Break - Over' packet will be sent, e.g:

* Toilet Break - Over JSON

```
{
  "timestamp": "2022-06-28T13:18:46.182Z",
  "eventElementType": "MatchStatusUpdate",
  "matchTime": "01:39:31",
  "seqNum": 440,
  "matchStatus": {
    "umpireCountry": "AUS",
    "umpire": "J. BLOM",
    "teamAPlayer1": "J. SOUSA",
    "tossChooser": "Serve",
    "matchState": {
      "team": "TeamA",
      "state": "ToiletBreak",
      "toiletBreakEnded": "2022-06-28T14:18:45",
      "locationTimestamp": "2022-06-28T14:13:23"
    },
    "teamBPlayer1": "R. GASQUET",
    "numSets": 5,
    "scoringType": "LastSetTiebreak12",
    "firstServer": "TeamA",
    "tossWinner": "TeamB",
    "courtNum": 15,
    "teamAPlayersDetails": {
      "player1Id": "SH90",
      "player1Country": "POR"
    },
    "teamBPlayersDetails": {
      "player1Id": "G628",
      "player1Country": "FRA"
    },
    "umpireCode": "QNCAAA",
    "tieBreakType": "TieBreakInFinalSet"
  }
}
```

After this point, time will be called by the umpire and the match status will be updated to 'In Progress'. The match will resume as normal.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sportradar.com/tennis/live-data-scenarios-1/toilet-break.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
