Title
Round-Robin Tournaments Generated by the Circle Method Have Maximum Carry-Over.
Abstract
The Circle Method is widely used in the field of sport scheduling to generate schedules for round-robinï¾źtournaments. The so-called carry-over effect value is a number that can be associated to each round-robin schedule; it represents a degree of balance of a schedule. Here, we prove that, for an even number of teams, the Circle Method generates a schedule with maximum carry-over effect value, answering an open question.
