There is always a player such that every other player was either beaten by him or beaten by a player beaten by him
Every participant of a tournament plays with every other participant exactly once. No game is a draw. After the tournament, every player makes a list with the names of all the players, who either
(i) were beaten by him or (ii) were beaten by a player beaten by him.
Prove that there is a player whose list contains the names of all other players. (Hint: use the extremal principle )
