If you have a question about this talk, please contact Anton Evseev.

A classical result of Hajnal and Szemeredi states that an oriented graph with $nk$ vertices and maximal degree st most $n-1$ can be properly coloured so that each colour class contains precisely $n$ vertices. I will sketch a recent short proof of this result due to Kierstead and Kostochka and will explain how it could be used to arrange a fair draw in a competition. If time allows, I will also mentioned some problems motivated by this possible application.
