In this study, we propose a simple match importance measure based on a final ranking score. Comparing our results with the previous fixture generated using a Weighted Goal Score procedure, we find that the fixtures generated from our proposed approach are similar to our previous work, but using a simpler model. Key-Words: - match importance, ranking scores, scheduling fixtures 1 Introduction This work is a continuation of our previous work which aims to define the level of importance of each fixture in the Malaysian Super League. Malaysian football is witnessing a decrease in stadium attendance and scheduling fixtures into timeslots so as to maximise the number of supporters is critical to the league administrators. In our previous work [1] we applied WGS (Weighted Goal Score) in order to calculate the priority of each fixture. According to Dobson and Goggard [2], there are two distinct strands of empirical literature on modelling the outcome of matches in football (soccer). Modelling the number of goals scored and conceded and modelling win-lose-draw results. The difference between the forecasting abilities of these two models appears to be relatively small. This paper tests this hypothesis for Malaysian football. The aim of this study is to investigate a different method to measure match importance. We propose to measure match importance using win-lose-draw results from the previous season. The results are used as an input to produce fixture for the next season, with the aim of maximising stadium attendance. ISBN:
2 2 Background Modelling match outcomes using win-lose-draw results have been reported in [3], [4], and [5]. In [5] a comparison was undertaken that considered two models; goals scored and conceded, and win-drawlose match results. It concluded that that the difference between the forecasting ability of the two models was relatively small. Lebovic and Sigelman [6] use a ranking methodology to forecast games in American college football. Their method analyses week-to-week changes of the ranking, utilising a logistic regression model. In [7] a ranking method is used where they predict the winners of men s professional tennis, employing the Bradley-Terry type model. In our work, we use final ranking of the league to predict the match importance of each team and use this measure of importance to produce the fixture for the next season. In [8], they present the performance of a Bayesian Network compared to other machine learning techniques for predicting match results for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. This is however not applicable to this research in that we use final ranking (win-lose-draw) to measure the match importance. The use of ranking methods is also reported in [9], for professional tennis. They test whether the difference in ranking between individual players are good predictors for Grand Slam tennis outcomes. P iii. W t = t T Once we get the weight for each team, we multiply the weight of team a and b to get the level of importance l, of the match between team a and team b. In order to distinguish between home and away games, for the home game, we add 10% to the weight of home team, for example, if team a is playing against team b, the calculation is (W ta x W tb ) + (W ta x 0.1). We use l, as a measure of match importance, in the same mathematical model in our previous work, in order to generate schedules based on the final ranking of the season. 4 Results and Discussion 4.1 Season Table 1 presents the calculation of weights for each team in season The level of importance of each match is shown in Table 2. Table 1: Weights for each team in Season Methodology We utilise a win-lose-draw model, drawing on the results from the previous season, to determine if there are similarities in the fixtures produced when using a Weighted Goal Score model. We use the data for seasons , 2009 and The winlose-draw (WLD) model is as follows: i. P t = points achieved by each team, t, throughout the season and is calculated following the FIFA rule (win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, and lose = 0) ii. T = total number of points for all teams The level of importance of each fixture using win-lose-draw were sorted in descending order of level of importance, and compared to the ranking ISBN:
3 Table 2: Level of importance using final ranking (season ) using WGS (table 3). We found that the results are similar. In fact, for a match between Kedah and Perak, both methods ranked them fifth. Similarly, the match between Penang and DPMM, is placed at 148 th, among the unimportant matches. We would expect that the schedules produced, using the two measures, would be similar as we are able to solve the problem using a deterministic, optimal approach. Table 3: Comparison of ranking using win-lose-draw and using WGS for Season No. Fixture level of importance Win-losedraw Ranked using win-losedraw Ranked using WGS 1 KEDAH-N.SEMBILAN NAZA KEDAH-JOHOR KEDAH-SELANGOR N.SEMBILAN NAZA-KEDAH KEDAH-PERAK JOHOR-KEDAH KEDAH-TERENGGANU SELANGOR-KEDAH KEDAH-PERLIS N.SEMBILAN NAZA-JOHOR PENANG-PERLIS UPB MYTEAM-PENANG DPMM-PENANG SARAWAK-N.SEMBILAN NAZA UPB MYTEAM-SARAWAK DPMM-SARAWAK SARAWAK-JOHOR PENANG-PAHANG SARAWAK-SELANGOR SARAWAK-PERAK PENANG-PDRM SARAWAK-TERENGGANU PENANG-UPB MYTEAM PENANG-DPMM SARAWAK-PERLIS N.SEMBILAN NAZA-PENANG SARAWAK-PAHANG PENANG-SARAWAK SARAWAK-PDRM SARAWAK-UPB MYTEAM SARAWAK-DPMM SARAWAK-PENANG Season 2009 Table 4 shows the weights for each team in season 2009, and the level of importance in Table 5. Similar to season , the level of importance of each fixture, using WLD, are sorted in descending order of the importance level, and then compared to the ranking using WGS in Table 6. We found that the results are almost similar. In fact, for a match between Selangor and Terengganu, both methods ranked them 5 th. Similarly, Kelantan and Kedah, are placed at 40 th, and Pahang and N.Sembilan placed at 161 st. Again, we would expect the resultant schedules to be very similar from the two importance levels. Table 4: Weights for each team in Season 2009 ISBN:
4 Table 5: Level of importance using final ranking (season 2009) Table 6: Comparison of ranking using win-lose-draw and using WGS (Season 2009) Table 7: Weights for each team for Season 2010 Similar to season 2009 above, the level of importance of each fixture using WLD are sorted in descending order of level of importance, and compared to the ranking using WGS as shown in Table 9. The two models, again, produce similar results. A match between Perlis and Kuala Lumpur, are ranked at 139 th in both models. Similarly, a match between Johor and Pahang, gets ranked at 164 th in both models. Like the other seasons, the fixtures from our deterministic, optimal procedure would generate similar fixtures from the two match importance measures. 4.3 Season 2010 Table 7 shows the weights for season 2010, and the level of importance in Table 8. ISBN:
5 Table 8: Level of importance using final ranking (season 2010) Table 9: Comparison of ranking using win-lose-draw and using WGS (Season 2010) 5 Conclusion We have proposed WLD, as a measure of match importance. The objective is to find out if it would produce similar results to the WGS method. We provided a comparison across three seasons ( , 2009, and 2010) of the Malaysian football league and found that that the results are very similar. This agrees with previous work, which also found that these two methods produce similar match weightings.
