In the literature, sports timetabling problems have been reported featuring a wide variety of constraints and objectives. The query tool below assists users to identify the relevant set of papers for a given sports timetabling problem. Red buttons limit the output to a set of papers that do not deal with problems featuring the three-field value, green buttons require that the selected instances feature the three-field value, and gray buttons are not considered in the instance selection process. Note that the tool only allows for valid color combinations (e.g. it is not possible for an instance to simultaneously be of the type single and double round-robin). Moreover, a paper may appear more than once in the list if it cover multiple sports timetabling problems. For the \(\alpha_1\) field, we provide an additional button with value `ML' to select all multi-league instances.
