Abstract

We prove that a regular tournament with n vertices has more than n ²/11.5(1-o(1)) pairwise arc-disjoint directed triangles. On the other hand, we construct regular tournaments with a feedback arc set of size less than n²/8, so these tournaments do not have n²/8 pairwise arc-disjoint triangles.
