Equality of the honest-effort and attainable tournament regions

Let An\mathcal{A}_n denote the set of score vectors attainable in tournaments on nn players, and let An\mathcal{A}^{*}_n denote the region generated by the tournament configurations described above. The examples satisfy A1=A1\mathcal{A}^{*}_1=\mathcal{A}_1, A2=A2\mathcal{A}^{*}_2=\mathcal{A}_2, and A3=A3\mathcal{A}^{*}_3=\mathcal{A}_3. Equality conjecture.

An=An,\mathcal{A}^{*}_n=\mathcal{A}_n,

for every nNn\in\mathbb{N}. This would assert that the configurations captured by An\mathcal{A}^{*}_n produce exactly all attainable score vectors, despite the map used to construct the region ceasing to be injective for n3n\geq 3.
