The BIG implies BIG conjecture for tournaments

A class of tournaments T\mathcal T has the BIGBIGBIG\Rightarrow BIG property if there exists a function ff such that, for every TTT\in\mathcal T, if χ(T)f(t)\operatorname{\overrightarrow{\chi}}(T)\geq f(t), then TT contains disjoint subtournaments AA and BB with χ(A),χ(B)t\operatorname{\overrightarrow{\chi}}(A),\operatorname{\overrightarrow{\chi}}(B)\geq t and ABA\Rightarrow B. The BIG implies BIG conjecture. The class of all tournaments has the BIGBIGBIG\Rightarrow BIG property. This conjecture is attributed to Nguyen, Scott and Seymour and is presented as implying the Erdős–El-Zahar conjecture.
