To each tournament Tn with n nodes n there corresponds the automorphism group G(Tn) consisting n of all dominance preserving permutations of the set of nodes. In a recent paper [3], Myron Goldberg and J. W. Moon consider the maximum order g(n) which the group of a tournament with n nodes may have. Among other results they prove that
