A complete search method for the relaxed traveling tournament problem

The traveling tournament problem is a sports scheduling problem that includes two major issues in creating timetables: home/away pattern feasibility and travel distance. In this problem, the schedule must be compact: every team plays in every time slot. However, there are some sports leagues that ha...
