Project description

Scheduling sports competitions is an extremely complex optimization problem where various wishes need to be taken into account. This proposal creates a benchmarking system which allows to compare the performance of various algorithms. Our system will show which approach works best for which type of sport scheduling problem. We also develop new algorithms for sport scheduling problems in amateur competitions.
