Abstract
It has been suggested that the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) can be employed to interpret the results of sports tournaments [1] with particular reference to evidence of cheating. This manuscript presents a first attempt to use this approach on round robin tournaments and evaluate its effectiveness. It is applied to two real world examples in one of which some irregularities are known to have occurred. The ideal method for combining the results for each pair of teams (home/away) is investigated. The aim is to assess if the AHP is an effective approach to this problem and to use the results to investigate any irregularities in a teams’ performance. The analysis failed to detect any evidence of non-sporting behaviour. A number of consistency criteria are described and exhaustively compared for three attributes (3×3 matrices). Verf.-Referat
