# Tournament Draws

A typical Tennis draw is an expected set of matchups within a tennis tournament which is a knockout competition. Every match a player wins, they are entered into the next round of the draw

A Tennis draw on the DDE is first of all defined by the draw type, with each competition in a tennis tournament having its own draw.

For example, the majority of tennis tournaments require one or more qualifying rounds, which typically take place over the weekend before the tournament week starting. On the DDE, a qualifying round can be identified by each match's specific event ID. Event IDs are explained in detail on [this](https://img-arena.gitbook.io/tennis/-M-nnUijRFbIhBBjSfUz/documentation/how-are-event-ids-structured) page.

We recommend that you request the `https://dde-api.data.imgarena.com/tournaments/{id}/draws` REST endpoint every minute so that you have the most up-to-date information on the draws from live/upcoming tournaments.

## Request Parameters

This endpoint currently takes no request parameters, we aim to add them, and once we have they will be detailed here.
