Problem Statement

A round-robin tournament among 2n2n teams lasted for 2nāˆ’12n-1 days, as follows. On each day, every team played one game against another team, with one team winning and one team losing in each of the nn games. Over the course of the tournament, each team played every other team exactly once. Can one necessarily choose one winning team from each day without choosing any team more than once?
