Title
Comparing the efficacy of ranking methods for multiple round-robin tournaments
Abstract
A methodology is developed for comparing the efficacy of a number of multiple round-robin tournament ranking methods with respect to their ability to replicate the true rank order of players' strengths. Four new ranking methods are introduced in this paper. Different probability models for pairwise contests between tournament participants are considered. We consider the case in which there are multiple tournaments but not all players compete in all tournaments. Guidelines are provided for selecting a ranking method given some foreknowledge of the form of the distributions of the participants' strengths.
