At
Optimal Planning Solutions, we have developed a revolutionary
new approach to sports league scheduling. We use optimization--based
solvers to analyze every possible scheduling alternative
to ensure that the resulting schedule is the one that best
matches a client’s customized objectives and constraints.
Scheduling
Objectives
Our
technique allows us to quantify any number of league-specific
scheduling objectives, which may include:
- Maximizing preferred venue dates
- Accommodating television network packages
- Meeting specific teams request for venue dates
and/or opponents
- Minimizing travel costs or days on the road
- Minimizing the frequency of consecutive home (or
road) games
- Achieving a fair or balanced schedule
- Any other quantitative metric
Scheduling
Constraints
In addition, our
schedules can be customized to satisfy any league-specific
scheduling rules which might include:
- Venue availability
- Pre-scheduled games
- Allocation and/or distribution of preferred venue
dates
- Opponent selection and/or spacing
- Travel restrictions and/or limitations
- Home/away spacing
- Consecutive game spacing and frequency
- Any other league-specific scheduling constraints
