We examine the effects of endogenous sequences on the fairness in round-robin tournaments with four players, multiple … show that there is no sequence which implies perfect fairness. By contrast, some endogenous sequences imply horizontal ex …-ante fairness irrespective of the prize structure. In winner-take-all tournaments, additional endogenous sequences are horizontally …
