A digraph is d $d$‐dominatingif every set of at most d $d$ vertices has a common out‐neighbor. For all integers d ≥ 2 $d\ge 2$, let f ( d ) $f(d)$ be the smallest integer such that the vertices of every 2‐edge‐colored (finite or infinite) complete digraph (including loops) can be covered by the vertices of at most f ( d ) $f(d)$ monochromatic d $d$‐dominating subgraphs. Note that the existence of f ( d ) $f(d)$ is not obvious – indeed, the question which motivated this paper was simply to determine whether f ( d ) $f(d)$ is bounded, even for d = 2 $d=2$. We answer this question affirmatively for all d ≥ 2 $d\ge 2$, proving 4 ≤ f ( 2 ) ≤ 8 $4\le f(2)\le 8$ and 2 d ≤ f ( d ) ≤ 2 d d d − 1 d − 1 for all d ≥ 3 $2d\le f(d)\le 2d\left(\frac{{d}^{d}-1}{d-1}\right)\,\,\text{for all}\,\,d\ge 3$. We also give an example to show that there is no analogous bound for more than two colors. Our result provides a positive answer to a question regarding an infinite analogue of the Burr‐Erdős conjecture on the Ramsey numbers of d $d$‐degenerate graphs. Moreover, a special case of our result is related to properties of d $d$‐paradoxical tournaments.
