abstract = {We provide an index formula for solutions of variational inequality problems defined by a continuously differentiable function F over a convex set M represented by a finite number of inequality constraints. Our index formula can be applied when the solutions are nonsingular and possibly degenerate, as long as they also satisfy the injective normal map (INM) property, which is implied by strong stability. We show that when the INM property holds, the degeneracy in a solution can be removed by perturbing the function F slightly, i.e., the index of a degenerate solution is equal to the index of a nondegenerate solution of a slightly perturbed variational inequality problem. We further show that our definition of the index is equivalent to the topological index of the normal map at the zero corresponding to the solution. As an application of our index formula, we provide a global index theorem for variational inequalities which holds even when the solutions are degenerate.

abstract = {On considere en premier lieu le type le plus simple de "tournoi", dans lequel chacun de t joueurs $A_{1},A_{2},\ldots ,A_{t}$ rencontre une fois chacun des autres, le resultat de chaque jeu attribuant 1 point au joueur gagnant et 0 point au perdant. La question traitee dans cet article concerne la maniere de traduire les resultats d'un tournoi en classement des joueurs. Une methode courante consiste a prendre pour base du classement le nombre total de gains $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots ,a_{t}$ des joueurs, mais, dans ce cas, comment resoudre le probleme des ex-aequo? De toutes facons, des statistiques autres que les gains totaux peuvent etre utilisees, et l'on passe en revue differentes methodes qui ont ete proposees. Une partie importante de l'etude porte sur la comparaison des methodes d'apres leur performance dans de petits tournois ou l'intuition peut etre consideree comme un guide plus sur que des principes apparemment generaux. Bien qu'il soit commode d'utiliser le langage des tournois, le probleme du classement s'applique immediatement aux experiences comportant des comparaisons par paires, ou chaque objet $A_{i}$ (i = 1, 2,..., t) est compare une fois a chacun des autres, et le resultat exprime par une preference a l'un ou l'autre des objets. Quelques extensions a des situations plus generales sont indiquees.},

Our results show that admissions at English soccer matches relate positively to the quality of teams involved and negatively to a measure of the relative win probabilities of the competing teams. The uncertainty measure is derived from a model of the betting market which corrects for specific biases tested for and identified in the odds in our data set. Although supporters appear to favour an uncertainty of outcome, a greater quality of strength across clubs may still yield a fall in aggregate attendance because of the extent to which home field advantage generates an uneven contest between similarly strong teams.},

abstract = {If team $A$ played team $B$ in its previous match of a round robin tournament and is now playing team $C$, team $C$ is said to receive a carry-over effect due to team $B$. This paper investigates the construction of draws for round robin tournaments with the aim of distributing the carry-over effects due to any team as evenly as possible amongst the other teams. A balanced distribution is shown to occur when the number of teams is a power of two, and a method of construction of draws is given for these cases. It is conjectured that balanced draws do not exist for other numbers of teams, and the most effective method of construction yet found for this latter situation is presented.},

We analyze and compare draws for four-team tournaments using various criteria, then attempt to generalize the results to eight-team tournaments. For example, only one-four team draw maximizes the probability that the best team wins for all pairwise probabilities, whereas eight draws are possibly optimal for eight-team tournaments.},
