Note: Further Gymnastics

Interfaces, 1986, vol. 16, issue 2, 69-71

Abstract: The problem of choosing a lineup to maximize the potential team score in intercollegiate women’s gymnastics is tackled by Ellis and Corn [1984], using a bivalent integer programming formulation. The authors argue that as it is not uncommon for each of the competing teams to score approximately 180 points, and as the winning margin can be less than half a point, the selection of athletes becomes a crucial decision, so that the proposed model could be an invaluable aid to the coach, who has to make the final selection.
