This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the literature considering round robin
tournaments. The terminology used within the area has been modified over time and today it …

Abstract The Traveling Tournament Problem is a sports timetabling problem that abstracts
two issues in creating timetables: home/away pattern feasibility and team travel. Instances of …

Sports timetabling algorithms need to be able to handle a wide varietyof requirements. We
present a two-phase method in which the first phase is to schedule the teams ignoring …

In the presence of side-constraints and optimization criteria, round robin tournament
problems are hard combinatorial problems, commonly tackled with tree search and branch …

This paper presents a hybrid IP/CP algorithm for designing a double round robin schedule
with a minimal number of breaks. Both mirrored and non-mirrored schedules with and …

implementation of computation spaces. The implementation of Oz Light is extended by nodes …

This paper considers the break minimization problem in sports timetabling. The problem is to
find, under a given timetable of a round-robin tournament, a home-away assignment that …

Sports scheduling is a very attractive application area not only because of the interesting
mathematical structures of the problems, but also due to their importance in practice and to …
