Global Sports League

Background

Fair competition in sports requires a balance of logistics, equity, and practicality, especially when organizing sporting competitions on an international scale. The International Multi- Continental Matchmaking Committee (IMMC) seeks your expertise to develop a scheduling system for their upcoming Global Sports League (GSL). This league will feature teams from around the world, emphasizing geographic diversity, competitive equity, and logistical feasibility. The IMMC also values economic and environmental sustainability, wants to ensure fair matchups and requires the league to include 20 teams with at least two teams from each continent (excluding Antarctica). The GSL season runs between 8 and 9 months.

While the IMMC has outlined key criteria for the league, they have not yet determined the sport to be played in the GSL. Some sports already have an established international presence, while others have limited global reach. The IMMC is open to considering any team sport, provided your team can demonstrate its potential for global expansion within the GSL framework. This is where your expertise is needed.

Your team is invited to select a sport you are passionate about, develop a model that produces a fair and effective schedule for the GSL, and test how well your scheduling model adapts to changes in the league.
