March Madness

This guide will walk you through fetching March Madness schedules, including how to access games as they become available, analyzing matchup behavior, and constructing a playoff bracket.

Introduction to March Madness

In college basketball, the NCAA Men's Basketball (NCAAMB) tournaments, often referred to as March Madness, are single-elimination events held after the regular season to crown the national champion. The Division I (D1) tournament, featuring 68 teams from various conferences, is the most prominent, with teams eliminated in each round until two remain for the national championship.

Unlike the NBA's best-of-seven format, March Madness follows a single-elimination format, meaning teams must win each game to advance to the next round. The tournament consists of several rounds, starting with the First Four, then moving to the First Round, Second Round, Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four, and ultimately the National Championship. Teams are eliminated after a single loss, creating high-stakes games throughout the tournament.


Tournaments We Cover

While the D1 March Madness tournament draws the most attention, we also provide coverage of all other division tournaments, including Conference Tournaments.


Access March Madness data using these feeds:

  1. Use the Tournament List feed to access a list of all tournaments scheduled for the given season including tournament name, location, start date, and end date.
  2. The Tournament Schedule endpoint provides the date, time, location, and other event details for every match-up taking place for a given tournament.
  3. The Tournament Statistics detailed team and player statistics for the defined tournament.
  4. The Tournament Summary provides tournament information including location, status, start date, end date, set up and participants.

Workflow and Samples

Sportradar's data entry experts will have the entire field input within 2 hours of the announcements on Selection Sunday.

Prior to the matchup announcements, the Tournament Schedule and Tournament Summary feeds will return 200 results with basic Regional bracket information included. To access these feeds, you must input the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament unique ID, found in the Tournament List feed. See below for sample data.


Tournament Samples

Live Tournament Coverage

Men’s: All games are covered via full coverage with substitution data. Realtime data includes:

  • Full play-by-play
  • Team statistics
  • Player statistics (including player minutes and plus/minus)

Women’s: All games are covered via full coverage. Realtime data includes:

  • Full play-by-play
  • Team statistics
  • Player statistics (no realtime player minutes or plus/minus)

Please note that the game time for March Madness games will be adjusted in the schedule feeds if the game time is changed by the broadcast network.


Postgame Coverage

Tournament Schedule:
Teams are promoted to the next round within 10 minutes of complete status (when a game has ended and the final score confirmed) of the prior game.

Tournament Statistics:
Team statistics will be updated in the Tournament Statistics endpoint within 20 minutes after a game goes to closed status.

On average, it takes about 30 minutes to close a men’s game. As a result, on average, it takes approximately an hour for team statistics to update after a game ends.


March Madness FAQ

How do I know the order or position (top left, bottom left, etc) in the bracket for each region?

In the Tournament Summary endpoint, each region has a rank value. The region's position in the bracket is based on that rank value.

  • Top Left Quadrant: Regional Rank = 1 - South Regional in Example Provided
  • Bottom Left Quadrant: Regional Rank = 4 - West Regional in Example Provided
  • Top Right Quadrant: Regional Rank = 2 - East Regional In Example Provided
  • Bottom Right Quadrant: Regional Rank = 3 - Midwest Regional in Example Provided

The region rank value will be populated as soon as each number 1 seed is announced (top 4 overall seeds in the tournament) at the start of the Selection Sunday show.


Prerequisite - Accessing Available Seasons

To avoid confusion and ensure you're accessing available data, refer to our Seasons feed. This resource lists all the seasons for which we have data.

For example: To ensure data availability for future seasons, such as a schedule in advance of when a season begins, first check the Seasons feed to verify that data for that specific season is already provided.

Starting with this feed can prevent unnecessary errors and streamline your data retrieval process.


📆

Starting Year for Each Season

It's important to note that the season parameter uses the starting year of the season; for example, to retrieve data for the 2024-25 NCAAMB season, you would use 2024 as the value for the season parameter.

Tip - Start Building Your Bracket

You can use this information to start constructing a playoff bracket in your application. By querying the tournament schedule, you can populate the bracket with the correct matchups, scheduling details, and eventually, the actual team names as they become available. The home and away attributes for each game will be updated with the relevant teams, allowing you to dynamically update the bracket as the tournament progresses.

Here is a preview of a partially completed schedule for the first round of the East Regional for the 2023 March Madness tournament, demonstrating how games and team matchups will appear as data is populated.

The following is a visual of that bracket that can be populated from the data above.


Tournament Schedule - Recommended Pull Frequency:

  • Schedule info is updated in realtime as changes are made. The initial playoff schedule (with TBD matchups) will be available shortly after the regular season schedule is released.
    • Teams will advance to the next round on a 2-minute timer after the previous game moves to complete status
  • Pull every hour or less depending on your use case.
    Note: This feed should be used for schedule info prior to a game start. For the status of a live game, reference a game-endpoint.
  • The TTL/Cache is two seconds.

3. Track Tournament Statistics

Along with tracking live games in each matchup, you can use the Tournament Statistics feed to pull team and player statistics from the tournament.

Pulling this feed:

Using the tournament_id and team_id from steps 1 and 2, call the Tournament Statistics endpoint.

  • Tournament statistics are updated on a five minute timer after a game is moved to closed
  • To receive the fastest updates, call the feed five to ten minutes after a game is moved to closed.
  • Otherwise, utilize this feed on an as needed basis.
  • The TTL/Cache is 120 seconds.

Utilizing the Tournament Summary

The Tournament Summary endpoint returns key details such as the location, status, start date, end date, setup, and participants of the tournament. Similar to the Tournament Schedule endpoint, this data can be used to set up your brackets, but it offers a more concise overview of the tournament. If you're primarily interested in general tournament structure or high-level information, this endpoint provides an efficient way to capture that without needing the full game schedule.
