Abstract

This paper addresses a problem of how to calculate the probabilities of winning for the sports contest under the assumption that the strength among contestants can be described by a linearly ordered set. The general formulae for calculating the probabilities of winning are given. Applying the general formulae, we give the probabilities of winning the Asian Qualifiers for 2006 FIFA World Cup.
