An ordered triple system containing triples of the form \((a,b,c)\) is Mendelsohn if every ordered pair occurs the same number \(\lambda\) of times among the ordered pairs \((a,b)\), \((b,c)\), \((c,a)\) in the triples. It is directed if every ordered pair occurs the same number \(\lambda\) of times among the ordered pairs \((a,b)\), \((b,c)\), \((a,c)\) in the triples. It is Mendelsohn directed if it is both Mendelsohn and directed. The paper establishes the existence of a Mendelsohn directed triple system of order \(v\) exactly when \(\lambda(v-1)\equiv 0\pmod 3\).
