Abstract
An appropriate competition system should be in the function of the development of a particular sport, that is, it should ensure in the best possible and most humane way the integral sport development of individuals and teams. The purpose of this study was to analyse the different competition systems so that their nature can be objectively determined on the basis of the predicted deviation of ranking of the competitors in relation to their actual quality. A mathematical model was designed to achieve the above-mentioned goal. With regard to the results obtained it is possible to recommend the round-robin system, in which each team plays against each other team once, because this kind of a competition system enables competition results which are in accordance with the predicted actual quality of the competitors.
