  • Ranking by Pairwise Comparisons for Swiss-System Tournaments
    Ranking by pairwise comparisons for Swiss-system tournaments L´aszl´oCsat´o∗ August 28, 2015 Abstract Pairwise comparison matrices are widely used in Multicriteria Decision Making. This article applies incomplete pairwise comparison matrices in the area of sport tournaments, namely proposing alternative rankings for the 2010 Chess Olympiad Open tournament. It is shown that results are robust regarding scaling technique. In order to compare different rankings, a distance function is introduced with the aim of taking into account the subjective nature of human perception. Analysis of the weight vectors implies that methods based on pairwise comparisons have common roots. Visualization of the results is provided by Multidimensional Scaling on the basis of the defined distance. The proposed rankings give in some cases intuitively better outcome than currently used lexicographical orders. Keywords: Multicriteria decision making, Incomplete pairwise comparison matrix, Rank- ing for Swiss-system tournaments, Multidimensional Scaling 1 Introduction There are some sport tournaments where the ranking of the competitors is based on the results of games played against each other. In the world of sport there is no consensus in using a particular ranking method. Various evaluation methods have been applied to different events taking into account the specifics of the particular sport activity. Further complication emerges when participants are teams, and the final ranking should also reflect individual results. One characteristic example for that situation is a chess team championship. In this article it is assumed that the final ranking of participants of a sport tournament is based on the outcome of the games that have been played against each other.

    The Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan R E P O R T ON THE ACTIVITY OF THE NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM FOR THE PREVENTION OF TORTURE (2012) Baku – 2013 The report covers the activities carried out by the National Preventive Mechanism in 2012, as well as the relevant proposals and recommendations. The report includes statistical data, photos, as well as the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and the Regulations of the Department for the Prevention of Torture of the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan. ISBN: 978-9952-8220-5-2 This report was prepared by the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan, translated and published with the financial support of the OSCE Office in Baku. The views expressed in the report are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of the OSCE Office in Baku. Foreword Firstly, it should be mentioned that the establishment of an institution to function as the National Preventive Mechanism for the prevention of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (NPM), being the continuation of the statehood process, derived from the government’s willingness to support international standards ensuring the protection of human rights at higher level and the commitments undertaken thereunder. The incorporation of the requirements of the ratified documents into the national legislation has resulted in the designation of the Institute of the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan as the NPM, by taking into consideration its primary experience and capacity in this field.
