Abstract(in English) In this study, we show some properties of Kirkman schedules in applying the partial team swap. Kirkman schedule is the most representative single-round schedule in sports scheduling problems. The partial team swap (PTS) and the partial round swap (PRS) are representative neighborhood search methods in local search for sports scheduling problem. Let $n$ be the number of teams, $k$ be some team other than $n$, and $p$ be a prime number. Also, let $P_{i,j}= [n] verb|| { i,j }=bigcup_{x=1}^{X_{i,j}}{P_{i,j}^{x}}$, where $P_{i,j}^{x}$ is the set of vertices split by Partial Team Swap, and $X_{i,j}$ is the number of splits when $i,j$ are exchange points. We showed the property that a Kirkman schedule satisfying (1) $n-1 neq p$ or (2) $n-1=p and P^{x}_{k,n}subsetneq P_{k,n}$ can not be a Kirkman schedule when applied the partial team swap. The above property has already been shown in cite{riffle}, but the proofs of (1) and (2) were done using different lemmas, so we simplified the proofs and gave a unified proof using only one lemma for the two conditions. As a supplement, assuming that $n-1=p$, in the proposition that if $n-1$ is a Mersenne prime, then $P^{x}_{i,j}subsetneq [n]verb|| { i,j }$, the sufficient condition is satisfied but it is not necessary. We also showed that applying Partial Round Swap a Kirkman schedule can not be a Kirkman schedule isormorphic to the original one.
