Abstract: In this note, we focus on the measure of Competitive Balance in sport league when the size of the league varies. We construct a Competitive Balnce index defined as the ratio of the actual standard deviation to the maximal standard deviation, the value of the demoninator depending on the size of the league. On the basis of this ratio we then construct Iso Competitive Balance curves.
