Query: Competitive balance measures and the Uncertainty of Outcome Hypothesis
  in European football   Competitive balance is an important concept for professional sports and one
of the key issues that European football has to address in order to ensure its
long-term prosperity. However, the quantification of competitive balance is not
an easy task. The difficulties are mainly associated with its
multi-dimensionality character as well as the structure of each particular
sport. This article uses data from eight domestic leagues over 60 years to
identify the best index for a holistic view of competitive balance in European
football. The findings support the longstanding Uncertainty of Outcome
Hypothesis using indices designed for the important three identified levels of
competition and offering a weighting pattern for ranking places. Important
conclusions may be derived concerning the relative importance of different
aspects of competitive balance depending on the specific features of the best
index.
