networkx.algorithms.tournament.random_tournament

random_tournament(n, seed=None)

Returns a random tournament graph on n nodes.

Parameters

• n (int) – The number of nodes in the returned graph.

• seed (integer, random_state, or None (default)) – Indicator of random number generation state. See Randomness.

Returns

Whether the given graph is a tournament graph.

Return type

bool

Notes

This algorithm adds, for each pair of distinct nodes, an edge with uniformly random orientation. In other words, binom{n}{2} flips of an unbiased coin decide the orientations of the edges in the graph.
