By reviewing the application advantages and disadvantages of traditional intelligent algorithms in basketball event scheduling, this paper introduces the principle of simulated annealing algorithm and its application in basketball event scheduling. A basketball tournament scheduling plan based on a simulated annealing algorithm was designed and implemented for multiple competition venues, and its effectiveness was verified through experiments. The experimental results show that compared with traditional intelligent algorithms, the plan exhibits better performance in terms of stability and fairness.
