Title
Scheduling the finnish major ice hockey league
Abstract
Generating a schedule for a professional sports league is an extremely demanding task. Good schedules have many benefits for the league, such as higher incomes, lower costs and more interesting and fairer seasons. This paper presents a successful way to schedule the Finnish major ice hockey league. The method is a combination of local search heuristics and evolutionary methods. The generated schedule is currently in use for the 2008-2009 season.
