Recent years have witnessed vigorous development in the application of mathematical and
computational techniques to many aspects of the organization and planning of sports …

Balancing the allocation of games in sports competitions is an important organizational task
that can have serious financial consequences. In this paper, we examine data from 10,142 …

We explore the implications of the principle of monotonicity in the problem of sharing the
revenues from broadcasting sports leagues. We formalize different forms of this principle as …

In this paper, a PSO-based algorithm that hybridized Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and
Hill Climbing (HC) is applied to high school timetabling problem. This hybrid has two …

Timetabling is a managerial problem that recurringly appears in various domains such as
education, transport, sports, and staff management. The combinatorial nature of this problem …

We propose a statistical framework for quantifying the importance of single events that do
not provide intermediate rewards but offer implicit incentives through scheduling and the …

Any sports tournament needs a timetable, specifying which teams will meet at what time, and
where. However, not all sport timetables are equally fair for the contestants. In this chapter …

Timetabling problem is among the most difficult operational tasks and is an important step in
raising industrial productivity, capability, and capacity. Such tasks are usually tackled using …

This paper introduces a general multi-league sports scheduling problem where timetables
for multiple leagues must be determined simultaneously, a practical and challenging …

Sports scheduling problems are interesting optimization problems that require the decision
of who play with whom, where and when to play. In this work, we study the sports scheduling …
