Z-cyclic generalized whist frames and Z-cyclic generalized whist tournaments Original Research Article

Much of the work in this article was inspired by the elegant and powerful method introduced by Ge and Zhu in their recent paper on triplewhist frames. We extend their ideas to generalized whist tournament designs. Thus, in one sense, we provide a complete generalization of their methodology. We also incorporate the product theorems of Anderson et al. to broaden their class of Z-cyclic frames. Our techniques are illustrated by the production of many new Z-cyclic (2,6) GWhD(v) that would be difficult to produce by any other existing method.
