Business Configuration Design: 
Our system separates business logic design from value determination:
- Configuration Logic (business_configuration_logic.json): Templates designed by data engineers with sample_value for scalars and actual formulas for business logic
- Configuration Values (business_configuration.json): Realistic values determined by domain experts for scalar parameters only
- Design Rationale: Ensures business logic consistency while allowing flexible parameter tuning

- Focus on precise operational decision-making that leads to linear formulations
- Resource limitations match expected linear constraints
- Avoid scenarios requiring variable products, divisions, or other nonlinear relationships
- Include specific operational parameters that map to expected coefficient sources
- Reference business configuration parameters where appropriate
- CRITICAL: Include ALL business configuration information (scalar parameters AND business logic formulas) in natural business language

### Goals  
[Regenerate goals that clearly lead to LINEAR mathematical objective:]
- Optimization goal: maximize

# Complete Optimization Problem and Solution: sports_competition

## 1. Problem Context and Goals

### Context  
The sports league is focused on optimizing the allocation of players to clubs to maximize the total points scored across all clubs. This decision-making process involves assigning players to clubs in a way that respects the operational constraints of each club, including the maximum and minimum number of players allowed and the total budget available for player salaries. The league uses a binary decision variable to determine whether a player is assigned to a specific club, ensuring that each assignment is clear and definitive. The points scored by each player in a club are used as the primary metric to evaluate the success of the allocation. The league’s operational parameters are designed to align with a linear optimization approach, avoiding complex scenarios that would require nonlinear relationships, such as variable products or divisions. The business configuration includes scalar parameters like the points scored by players in clubs and the binary decision variable for player assignments, ensuring that the optimization problem remains straightforward and mathematically consistent.

### Goals  
The primary goal of the optimization is to maximize the total points scored by all clubs through the optimal assignment of players. This is achieved by considering the points each player is expected to contribute to a club and ensuring that the assignments respect the operational constraints of each club. Success is measured by the total points accumulated across all clubs, which directly reflects the effectiveness of the player allocation strategy. The optimization process focuses on linear relationships, ensuring that the objective and constraints are straightforward and aligned with the league’s operational requirements.

## 2. Constraints  

The optimization problem is subject to several key constraints that ensure the feasibility and fairness of the player allocations:  
1. **Maximum Players per Club**: Each club has a limit on the number of players it can accommodate. The total number of players assigned to a club must not exceed this limit.  
2. **Minimum Players per Club**: Each club must have a minimum number of players to ensure competitive viability. The total number of players assigned to a club must meet or exceed this requirement.  
3. **Budget Limit**: Each club has a total budget available for player salaries. The combined salaries of all players assigned to a club must not exceed this budget.  

These constraints are designed to align with the league’s operational requirements and ensure that the optimization problem remains linear and mathematically consistent.

## 3. Available Data  

### Database Schema
