| Title | Modelling in games and sports |
| Author | PARLEBAS Pierre |
| Keywords | Game, Graph, Modelling, Oulipo, Paradoxical game, Sport, Universals |
| Topics | Game Theory, Graphs, Modelling, Networks, Sports |
| Abstract | The role assumed by games and sports in their respective societies, can be enlightened by the analysis of their profound structure, whose invariant aspect contrast strongly with the incredible variety of the practices they give rise to. As Oulipo has shown for writings, games and sports are shaped by their system of constraints. These constraints determine structures named «universals» which are models based on an internal logic whose significant features characterize the motor action generated during the game. A detailed presentation of the basic structure of several universals is given (networks of motor communication, structure of the score interactions, scoring system.). The analysis' interest and difficulty comes from showing the links between the universals' properties and the striking orientations of the cultures the different games belong to. By using specific examples such as the Olympic Games, some relations between internal logic traits and cultural characteristics are presented: increasing the value of competition, the equality of opportunity, cooperation. The aim is to see if and how some dominant social representations are underlain by motor interaction situations whose simple mathematic properties can therefore prove decisive.

| Title | Study of the french tennis classification system: modelisation and statistical analysis with the Monte-Carlo method |
| Author | PARIS Nicolas, GERVILLE-REACHE Léo |
| Keywords | Classement, Mixed strategy, Modelling, Monte-Carlo, Tennis, Training |
| Topics | Game Theory, Modelling, Orders and preorders, Sports, Statistics |
| Abstract | The procedure of the French tennis classification system is hard to grasp for players and trainers. Via statistical analyses and numerical simulations, we identify and measure properties of the current method of classification. We show that the ranking increases as a function of the number of matches played during the year. |

| Title | Trials on race sports |
| Author | COLLARD Luc |
| Keywords | Race sports, Semiology, Theory of games |
| Topics | Game Theory, Semiology, Social Psychology, Sports |
| Abstract | Race sports with a player-coalition structure (motorcycle scramble, cycling on roads.) are a stain in the world of sports because they are the only ones in which interpersonal relations can be ambivalent. To testify this: here is an analysis through the 3-player strategy games theory. The solution of theses different situations can take advantage of the exclusive cooperative interplay but only if ways and codes of communications are mastered; which is far from being obvious when we have a look at the multi-faceted answers of a dozen of motorcyclists who were interviewed. The mathematical analysis is fighting for a training based on semiology of motor functions. |

| Title | Sporting practices and sociability |
| Author | LAPORTE Renaud |
| Keywords | Factorial analysis, Internal logic, Sociability, Sport |
| Topics | Data Analysis, Social Psychology, Sports |
| Abstract | This study uses factorial analysis to investigate the sociability of sportsmen in different fields and to check whether a person's general level of sociability corresponds to the social profile of his (or her) sport. Are team players more sociable than solitary sportsmen ? Each individual's level of sociability is assessed by analysing how often he goes out and/or attends social gatherings, using factorial analysis. A graph of these two prime behavioural elements provides a pictorial representation of any given sportsman's statusIt seems that the presence or absence of a partner or adversary correlates poorly with a sportsman's level of sociability. Surprisingly, the milieu in which the sport is practised does appear to be a discriminatory factor. It emerges that out-door sportsmen are more sociable than those who practise their sport indoors. |

| Title | Elementary mathematisation of the action in sport games |
| Author | PARLEBAS Pierre |
| Keywords | Games graph, Internal logic, Modelling, Motor action, Sociomotor role, sporting game, Transition graph |
| Topics | Decision Theory, Game Theory, Graphs, Modelling, Social Psychology, Sports |
| Abstract | The aim of this article is to show that the analysis of players' motor action can be formalized mathematically, particularly with the help of graphs and matrixes. A traditional game, la Galine, is chosen as the common theme to illustrate in practical terms the concepts and options successively put forward. The motor logic or internal logic of the game, gives objective indicators relative to space, objects, time and others, which allow us to identify sociomotor roles precisely. Sociomotors roles can be organized in a transition graph which illustrates the players' potential choices. The same reasoning is used to draw graphs of sociomotor sub-roles' changes. One can deduct game graphs and players' decision trees. This approach is generalized and a classification of games based upon the morphology of their sociomotor roles network, is put forward. The main idea is to convert the pertinent ludomotor characteristics in a graph structure, and to exploit this graph's elementary but exact mathematical properties, for psychological and sociological interpretations. |
