Quasi-random tournaments. (English) Zbl 0728.05025
The authors consider certain properties that tournaments $$T_ n$$ might possess; a typical such property might be that the value of some parameter defined on $$T_ n$$ lies in a certain interval that, roughly speaking, is not too wide. They show that a number of such properties are equivalent in the sense that if $$T_ n$$ possesses any one of them it possesses all of them.
