Long monochromatic paths in 2-coloured random tournaments

Given a tournament on n vertices, it is not hard to see that there is a 2-colouring of the edges such that the longest directed path has length O(n/sqrt(log n)). We show that for almost all tournaments, this bound is tight. I.e., for almost all tournaments, given any 2-colouring, there is a monochromatic directed path of length at least Omega(n/sqrt(log n)). This is joint work with Matija Bucić and Benny Sudakov.
