Abstract

Sports scheduling is a classical problem in the field of combinatorial optimization. One of the first successful methods to solve a complex instance was implemented using constraint programming. In this article, we explore an alternate and lighter way of modeling the round-robin part of the problem. We show this model can be enriched by additional propagations that complement the all different constraint.
