Abstract
Abstract A tournament is an orientation of a graph. Each edge is a match, directed towards the winner. The score sequence lists the number of wins by each team. In this article, by interpreting score sequences geometrically, we generalize and extend classical theorems of Landau (Bull. Math. Biophys. 15 , 143–148 (1953)) and Moon (Pac. J. Math. 13 , 1343–1345 (1963)), via the theory of zonotopal tilings.
