Abstract

Sports had always fascinated humanity. In this context, soccer was taken as a study source. The objective of this paper is to formulate a simulation model to generate estimators for necessary scores to achieve certain places at the final classification ranking of the Brazilian National Soccer Championship. The main data used are the rules of the championship, the number of competitors and the probability that a match ends up in a draw.
