If \(x\) is a vertex of a digraph \(D\), then we denote by \(d^+(x)\) and \(d^-(x)\) the outdegree and the indegree of \(x\), respectively. The global irregularity of a digraph \(D\) is defined by \(i_g(D) = \max\{d^+(x),d^-(x)\} – \min\{d^+(y),d^-(y)\}\) over all vertices \(x\) and \(y\) of \(D\) (including \(x = y\)). If \(i_g(D) = 0\), then \(D\) is regular and if \(i_g(D) \leq 1\), then \(D\) is almost regular.
A \(c\)-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete \(c\)-partite graph. It is easy to see that there exist regular \(c\)-partite tournaments with arbitrarily large \(c\) which contain arcs that do not belong to a directed cycle of length \(3\). In this paper we show, however, that every arc of an almost regular \(c\)-partite tournament is contained in a directed cycle of length four, when \(c \geq 8\). Examples show that the condition \(c \geq 8\) is best possible.
