It was conjectured that all graphs have an ascending subgraph decomposition (ASD). Several classes of graphs have been shown to have that property. Unlike undirected complete graphs, there are tournaments that do not have an ASD into stars. It is shown that every order of at least 6 has at least one tournament that does not have an ASD into stars. The main purpose of this paper is to show that all tournaments of order \(6n + 3\) have an ASD.
