An Enhanced Mathematical Model in Sports Events Timetabling

Journal Title: Mapta Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Events such as Olympics, Football World Cup and Golf and Tennis huge tournaments have always drawn the attention from fans and TV viewers. To obtain this attention many factors are involved. One the major reasons to attract fans is the time order of matches. Another factor is that prominent matches must be distributed over a time interval of the tournament. These make a problem which is called "Sport Events Timetabling". This article develops a MIP model to scheduling sport events. In this model, intrinsic constraints of sport events timetabling are considered. For example, it is possible to schedule group matches and matches which plays between two teams, simultaneously. At the end a case study is introduced and solved with the GAMS 9.32 software.
