      The paper proves that the maximum number of splits in a 2-compatible split system on \(n\) vertices is \(4n-10\) for all \(n>3.\) With this it also gives the exact answer (which is \(8n-20\)) to the question of A. Karzanov, raised in 1979, about the maximum number of members in any 3-cross-free collection of subsets of an \(n\)-set.
