          <dc:description>An r-edge-coloring of Kn is (r, m)-splittable if V (Kn) can then be r-colored to avoid totally monochromatic m-cliques (introduced by Erdo&amp;huml;s and Gyarfas. We interpret such colorings using a two-round game against an adversary; this relates splittable colorings to classical Ramsey numbers. Let fr(m) be the least  n such that some r-edge-coloring of K n is not (r, m)-splittable. Combinatorial designs yield fr(m) &amp;le;  O(r2m2). Extending ideas of Erdo&amp;huml;s and Gyarfas yields f r(m) &amp;ge; min{O(rm 2), O(r2m)}. Similar bounds hold for a generalization to hypergraphs.</dc:description>
