We describe a class of combinatorial design problems which typically occur in professional sailing league competitions. We discuss connections to resolvable block designs and equitable coverings and to scheduling problems in operations research. We in particular give suitable boolean quadratic and integer linear optimization problem formulations, as well as further heuristics and restrictions, that can be used to solve sailing league problems in practice. We apply those techniques to three case studies obtained from real sailing leagues and compare the results with previously used tournament plans.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Combinatorial Designs is an international journal devoted to the timely publication of the most influential papers in the area of combinatorial design theory. All topics in design theory, and in which design theory has important applications, are covered, including:
block designs, t-designs, pairwise balanced designs and group divisible designs
Latin squares, quasigroups, and related algebras
computational methods in design theory
construction methods
applications in computer science, experimental design theory, and coding theory
graph decompositions, factorizations, and design-theoretic techniques in graph theory and extremal combinatorics
finite geometry and its relation with design theory.
algebraic aspects of design theory.
Researchers and scientists can depend on the Journal of Combinatorial Designs for the most recent developments in this rapidly growing field, and to provide a forum for both theoretical research and applications. All papers appearing in the Journal of Combinatorial Designs are carefully peer refereed.
