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.
