The purpose of this study is to employ a systematic approach
to optimize the scheduling of volleyball tournaments. Given the total number
of teams in a tournament, the number of game days, the number of courts and
the number of teams at each division and the required time blocks at each game
day can be optimally obtained by using integer programming. In addition, the
referees can be optimally assigned to their preferred times by using Genetic
Algorithm (GA). Results from the experiments show that the proposed approach
can produce good solutions efficiently.
