A formula for the number of square \(n\times n\) \(\{-1, 0, 1\}\)-matrices with constant row and column sum equal to 1 and such that the nonzero entries in every row and column alternate in sign, is proved. This establishes the truth of a conjecture by \textit{W. H. Mills}, \textit{D. P. Robbins} and \textit{H. Rumsey} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 34, 340-359 (1983; Zbl 0516.05016)].
