Construction of referee squares

The existence of referee squares

In this short note, we prove a conjecture of Anderson, Hamilton and Hilton [1] on the existence of referee squares.

Special populations: the referee and assistant referee.

The referee has responsibility for control of players' behaviour during competitive football and implementing the rules of the game. To do this, the referee and the two assistant referees are obliged to keep up with play. Referees cover 10,000 m on average during a game, mean heart rate is about 160 - 165 beats . min(-1) and oxygen uptake is close to 80% of maximum (VO(2max). Assistant referees...

A Construction for Biembeddings of Latin Squares

An existing construction for face 2-colourable triangular embeddings of complete regular tripartite graphs is extended and then re-examined from the viewpoint of the underlying Latin squares. We prove that this generalization gives embeddings which are not isomorphic to any of those produced by the original construction.

Referee Recommendations

This paper quantitatively analyzes referee recommendations at eight prominent economics and finance journals, and the SFS (Society for Financial Studies) Cavalcade Conference, where a known algorithm matched referees to submissions. The behavior of referees was similar in all venues. The referee-specific component in the disposition recommendation was about twice as important as the common comp...
