In a symmetric association scheme that is (P and Q)-polynomial, the P and Q eigenmatrices are given by balanced \({}_ 4\Phi_ 3\) Askey-Wilson polynomials. In this paper, the parameters of the Askey-Wilson polynomial are classified so that its zeros are not contained in its spectrum. These results, together with theorems of Biggs and Delsarte, imply the nonexistence of perfect codes and tight designs in the classical association schemes of type \(A_ N\), \(B_ N\), \(C_ N\), \(D_ N\) and the affine matrix schemes.
