Abstract

Some methods of scoring players in a round-robin tournament are proposed, based on a concept of fair allocation of rewards to each player. The scores are related to those determined by a previously suggested principle of ‘consistency’. The scoring systems lead to the πi's of the Bradley-Terry model, and they have desirable ranking properties in the case of a general linear model. Various other properties of the scores are described.
