This paper describes a scheduling exercise carried out for the Minor Counties' Cricket Association (MCCA), which runs an amateur league based across England. The MCCA League consists of two wholly separate divisions of ten teams each, with each team playing three home matches and three away matches against teams in their own division each year, with opponents rotating between years; effectively this was scheduled as a double round robin over a three-year period.Originally the schedules had been repeated on a three-year cycle. However, problems of fairness and balance between years arose, and the MCCA therefore decided they needed to commission the creation of a nine-year schedule -a sextuple round-robin -which would address these equity issues and others. These issues were formulated as soft constraints, some of which related to a nine-year period, and a schedule was successfully produced using a form of Simulated Annealing, operating over a variety of neighbourhoods. The new nine-year schedule is currently in operation.

In this paper, we present our approach to sports scheduling, a process that led the Italian Volleyball League to adopt our calendar for the 2016–2017 and subsequent seasons. Sports scheduling is a hard combinatorial optimization problem whose solution requires modeling many different aspects of sports, some of which are unique to each sport or nation. The capability of producing a high-quality schedule is important for both balancing undesirable matches among teams and ensuring adequate coverage by television and other media. Through strong interaction with the Italian Volleyball League, we modeled and solved the problem to optimality using standard mathematical programming solvers. We also tested our solution using previous seasons’ tournaments to prove the capability of our model.
