# SportArena - LLM & AI Agents Guide (llms.txt) Welcome to **SportArena** (https://www.sportarena.app), the all-in-one sports platform for participating in and organizing sports tournaments, friendly community matches, and finding/booking sports courts in real-time across European and international cities. This document is formatted according to the **llms.txt** standard to help Large Language Models (LLMs), AI Voice Assistants, Autonomous Agents, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) crawlers understand the platform's capabilities, data structures, and machine-readable APIs. --- ## 1. Core Platform Capabilities & Taxonomy * **Court Booking & Real-Time Slot Availability (Trova Campi Liberi & Prenotazioni):** Real-time sports field search and booking engine. Players can search for available courts across affiliated sports facilities by specifying sport discipline, location in free natural language (e.g., "Roma sud", "Milano Bicocca", "Madrid centro", "München"), preferred date, time, and match duration (e.g. 60, 90, 120 minutes). The engine automatically checks venue business hours, recurring closures, overlapping reservations, and pricing per hour. * **Tournaments (Competitions):** Amateur and semi-professional sports tournaments across an extensive range of disciplines (Beach Volley, Beach Tennis, Beach Soccer, Padel, Tennis, 11-a-side Football, 8-a-side Football, 5-a-side Football, 3-a-side Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Pickleball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Handball, Rugby, Running, Swimming, Judo, Karate, Boxing, eSports, and more). Features group stages, knockout brackets, timeline news, live scores, and leaderboards. * **Friendly Games (Partite Amichevoli / Sfide):** Self-organized community challenges directly arranged by players. Allows autonomous match logging, group standings, and the popular "King" tournament format where players rotate teammates and opponents on every match. * **Player Rankings & Leaderboards (Classifica Giocatori):** Global and sport-specific player leaderboards with point ratings, ranking indexes, performance statistics, and historical tournament achievements. * **Organizers & Sports Centers (Sedi & Circoli):** Sports clubs, athletic associations, and venue managers that host tournaments, manage courts, and configure booking rules and tariffs. --- ## 2.
