Scheduling Argentina's professional basketball leagues: A variation on the Travelling Tournament Problem

Operations research methods are applied to design the season schedules of Argentina's professional basketball leagues using a format adopted in 2014 by the top two divisions. Following the setup used by the National Basketball Association (NBA) in North America, games are played any day of the...

Following the setup used by the National Basketball Association (NBA) in North America, games are played any day of the week and away games are scheduled in road trips of one to four consecutive games. The main scheduling objective is to reduce the teams’ total travel distance compared to previous season formats through the use of predetermined trips submitted by the teams.

Implementation of the models has generated average travel distance reductions of more than 30% per away game, with consequential benefits in lower travel costs and less player fatigue. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
