A Simulated Annealing Approach to the Travelling Tournament Problem

Abstract

Automating the scheduling of sport leagues has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper considers the traveling tournament problem (TTP) proposed in [8; 4] to abstract the salient features of major league baseball (MLB) in the United States. It proposes a simulated annealing algorithm (TTSA) for the TTP that produces significant improvements over previous approaches.
