Intelligent and dynamic method to specify chronological order of the games to improve the excitement and fairness of the champions in simulation league

RoboCup champions aimed at improving artificial intelligence methods. Competition formats include elimination, double elimination and round-robin. In soccer simulation league an agents' energy and knowledge in each game is independent of previous or simultaneous games. So when the format is round-robin the result is fair and the chronological order of holding games doesn't affect the result. In this paper, by using three heuristic functions, a new intelligent method for providing a dynamic table for specifying chronological order of holding games is presented. By using this method the important and determinative games were held at the end of the competitions. It can make championships more exciting and avoid extra games after round-robin; Therefore total evaluation specify the winner, the ranks are fairer and the RoboCup champions get closer to its' scientific goals. The evaluation showed that this dynamic method improved excitement in comparison to static methods and was 66% closer to the most exciting state evaluation.
