TY - GEN A1 - Gotzes, Uwe A1 - Hoppmann, Kai T1 - Bounds for the final ranks during a round robin tournament T2 - Operational Research - An International Journal (ORIJ) N2 - This article answers two kinds of questions regarding the Bundesliga which is Germany's primary football (soccer) competition having the highest average stadium attendance worldwide. First "At any point of the season, what final rank will a certain team definitely reach?" and second "At any point of the season, what final rank can a certain team at most reach?". Although we focus especially on the Bundesliga, the models that we use to answer the two questions can easily be adopted to league systems that are similar to that of the Bundesliga.
