2.1. UTC-zone selection

2.3. Sports Navigation
1. All events are grouped by "hierarchical tree" Sports -> Categories -> Tournaments. They are displayed at the left side-bar.
2. By clicking on chosen Sport – drop-down list of Sport's available Categories appears.
By clicking on chosen Category – drop-down list of available Tournaments in this Category is displayed
By clicking on Tournament – list of respective active events is displayed
3. Sports / Categories / Tournaments are shown in alphabet order. Each Sport has its own logo
4. Displaying of the "higher-level" sport entity depends on existence of the "child" entities underneath. Means:
- - Sport is available in navigation, if there is at least one available Category underneath (at least one active event is available in this Sport)
- - Category is available in navigation, if there is at least one available Tournament in this Category (at least one of it’s Tournaments has at least one active event).
- - Tournament is available in navigation, if there is at least one event of this Tournament, active and available for booking (event exists in trading feed)
Thus, “empty” Sports / Categories / Tournaments (having no available events) – are absent in Sports Navigation. Unless any respective available event will appear.
As a result - left-side bar will contain only those Sports, Categories and Tournaments, which contain events according to the filter set. For other cases - respective message will be displayed "There are no events for selected filters"
5. Sport navigation could be used for filtering events by Sport / Category / Tournament

2.4. Filters
Apart from Sport's navigation for fixtures, there is flexible user-friendly functionality of filters to manage events list (by their status, trading stage etc).
1. Time Filter "Start Date ↔ End Date"
Is used to filter events with EventStartDate by following rule: FilterStartDate <= EventStartDate <= FilterEndDate (are chosen in drop-dawn calendar).
By default FilterStartDate = FilterEndDate = CurrentDate
FilterStartDate is available for setting by user as >= CurrentDate in order to show only active events.
At the same time, there are events lasting for several days (Cricket, for example). Means, their EventStartDate could be < FilterStartDate, but they are still ongoing and not finished yet (and have stage = In-play).
As these events are still active and available for booking and trading - they also will be displayed as active, ongoing and available for user (even with EventStartDate in the past).
Thus, if EventStartDate < FilterStartDate, but events is still In-play - it will also be available in List of Events
In case of too many events are fetched within defined by user period FilterStartDate<->FilterEndDate - notification pops up to inform that it might take time. User either accepts and waits (for all events to be fetched) or rejects and resets filtering (to get info shortly)
2. "Stage"
Allows to distinguish events in required trading stage.
Possible values: All, In-play, Prematch
3. "Booking status"
Is used to separate events already booked (both: manually and/or autobooked via rules) from not booked.
Possible values:

2.5. List of filtered Events
Resulting list of events based on user's filters + Sports navigation will be shown as a following table.
The whole list of events is divided by pages (based on event's start date/time) to be chosen at bottom right corner.
Order of events displaying - based on events start date/time increasing.
Each line of the table represents info about specific event, matching filter conditions and sports navigation choice.
Each event has following attributes (columns):

8) Prematch booking status and In-play booking status
Togglers, showing whether event is booked or not for Prematch and/or In-play trading stages.
User could use it for manual event booking/unbooking for Prematch and/or In-play stage, by switching toggler and confirming intention.
Booking and unbooking for these 2 stages is independent: event could be booked for one of 2 stages, booked for both, or be unbooked for both.
- - if Prematch booking status = Booked, respective toggler is "On" (blue) and event is marked by blue font
- - if In-play booking status = Booked, respective toggler is "On" (blue) and event is marked by blue font
- - if Prematch booking status = Not Booked (respective toggler is "Off" (grey)), and In-play booking status = Not Booked (respective toggler is "Off" (grey)) - event is marked by black font
- - event can be booked (so Booking status = Booked) either manually or by autobooking rules - it stands for both, Prematch and In-Play). In both cases respective toggler is "On" (blue), but for autoboooked events label "A" is displayed (as mark of auto-booking)
- - if event is marked by blue color - it means that it is booked, so user can check it's details (gets into Event View by clicking on event's name)
- - if event is booked only for Prematch stage, but now match is already in In-play - then Event View is not available (as booked trading stage is over, it's needed to book In-play to get into event's details)
Note
If the event was ever booked manually or by auto-booking rules (either In-play, or Prematch), we will provide results of event's markets even in case of event's unbooking.
This is needed for bets settlement (if there were any bets before unbooking).
9) Manual suspend
Indicates, whether event is manually suspended for trading - according to business decision of the user.
Means, trading data are still fetched and provided, event is technically available for trading, but there's business need to freeze trading of this event on client's side (fraud detected, abnormal bet activity, etc). This could be used as feature to process on client's front-end to stop bet accepting from players.
Feature to be used by client to suspend trading of the specific event on client's side in case of business-need.
Manual suspension is done by user via toggler, showing whether event is suspended or not - with respective confirmation:
Suspend status is shown by toggler:
- if Manual Suspend = Suspended, toggler is "On"
- if Manual Suspend = Not Suspended, toggler is "Off"
After confirmation to suspend event - all markets of this event will be suspended until user will release trading of the event.
In the same time - providing of all feed data for event will not be stopped. Just additional indicator for manual suspend will be added (flag "isFrozen"=true for markets) - to be processed on client's side in order to disable markets for players.
