Scheduling CCRR tournaments
Esther Lamken
Caltech and UC Berkeley
In this talk, I will describe how to construct CCRRs,
complete coupling round robin schedules. The motivation
for these schedules is a problem in scheduling bridge
tournaments with the table-of-four format. The techniques
come from combinatorial design theory, however I will
emphasize direct constructions. So the talk should be
accessible to students with an interest in scheduling
problems and combinatorics.
