We show that Z-cyclic splittable triplewhist tournament designs exist for all primes of the form p = 8t + 1, t odd, except possibly p = 41.

No 17-player Triplewhist Tournament Has Nontrivial Automorphisms
The existence of triplewhist tournaments for v players has recently been solved for all values of v except v = 17. For v = 12 and v = 13 a complete enumeration has shown the nonexistence of TWh (v), while constructions of TWh (v) have been presented for v > 17. For several values of v existence has been shown by constructing a TWh (v) with a prescribed, usually cyclic, automorphism group. In th...
متن کاملThe Near Resolvable 2-(13, 4, 3) Designs and Thirteen-Player Whist Tournaments
A v-player whist tournament is a schedule of games, where in each round the v players are partitioned into games of four players each with at most one player left over. In each game two of the players play as partners against the other two. All pairs of players must play in the same game exactly three times during the tournament; of those three times, they are to play as partners exactly once. ...
متن کاملAn existence theorem for cyclic triplewhist tournaments
We show that a Z-cyclic triplewhist tournament TWh(v) exists whenever v =p] . . . . p~ where the primes p~ are -5(mod8) , p~>29. The method of construction uses the existence of a primitive root ~o of each such Pi (~61) such that ~o2+eo+ 1 are both squares (modpi).
متن کاملClassification of whist tournaments with up to 12 players
A v-player whist tournament Wh(v) is a schedule of games, each involving two players opposing two others. Every round, the players are partitioned into games, with at most one player left over. Each player partners every other player exactly once and opposes every other player exactly twice during the tournament. Directed whist tournaments DWh(v), and triplewhist tournaments TWh(v), are Wh(v) w...
متن کاملGeneralized whist tournament designs
In this study a new class of tournament designs is introduced. In particular, each game of the tournament involves several (two or more) teams competing against one another. The tournament is also required to satisfy certain balance conditions that are imposed on each pair of players. These balance conditions are related to both the total number of players on each team and the number of teams i...
