Abstract :
It was Moore who first introduced the triplewhist tournament TWh(v) problem in 1896. It is proved in the literature that the necessary condition for the existence of a TWh(v), namely, v≡0 or 1 (mod 4), is also sufficient except for v=5,9 and possibly excepting v∈{12,56}∪{13,17,45,57,65,69,77,85,93,117,129,153}. In this paper, it is shown that there is no TWh(12) and that there does exist a Z-cyclic TWh(v) for each v∈{44,45,48,52,56}. This completes the even case for the existence of TWh(v). By applying frame constructions and product constructions, several new infinite classes of Z-cyclic triplewhist tournaments are then obtained.
