## Abstract We characterize the family of hamiltonian tournaments with the least number of 3βcycles, studying their structure and their score sequence. Furthermore, we obtain the number of nonisomorphic tournaments of this family.

The main results assert that the minimum number of Hamiltonian bypasses in a strong tournament of order n and the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a 2-connected tournament of order n increase exponentially with n. Furthermore, the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a tournament increases at leas
## Abstract The number of tournaments __T~n~__ on __n__ nodes with a unique spanning cycle is the (2__n__β6)th Fibonacci number when __n__ β₯ 4. Another proof of this result is given based on a recursive construction of these tournaments.
Given n clubs with two teams each, we show that, if n is even, it is possible to construct a schedule for a single round robin tournament satisfying the following properties: the number of breaks is 2n -2, teams of the same club never play at home simultaneously, and they play against each other in
The dichromatic number k(D) of a digraph D is the minimum number of acyclic sets in which V(D) can be partitioned. If de(D) = Y, D is said r-dichromatic. In this paper it is proved that the minimum order of a 3-dichromatic (resp. 4-dichromatic) tournament is 7 (resp. 11). It is also proved that ther
