Balanced tournament designs and resolvable (upsilon, 3, 2)-bibds

Abstract In this paper, we present new constructions for resolvable and near resolvable ( v ,3,2)- BIBDs. These constructions use balanced tournament designs and odd balanced tournament designs. We then use balanced tournament designs with almost orthogonal resolutions and odd balanced tournament designs with orthogonal resolutions to generalize these constructions and produce doubly resolvable and doubly near resolvable (υ, 3, 2)-BIBDs.
