question

Let nn be a positive integer and fix 2n2 n distinct points on a circumference. Split these points into nn pairs and join the points in each pair by an arrow (i.e., an oriented line segment). The resulting configuration is good if no two arrows cross, and there are no arrows AB\overrightarrow{A B} and CD\overrightarrow{C D} such that ABCDA B C D is a convex quadrangle oriented clockwise. Determine the number of good configurations.

Let n be a positive integer and fix 2n distinct points on a circumference. Split these points into n pairs and join the points in each pair by an arrow (i.e., an oriented line segment). The resulting configuration is good if no two arrows cross, and there are no arrows (AB)→ and (CD)→ such that ABCD is a convex quadrangle oriented clockwise. Determine the number of good configurations.
Original LaTeX notation
Let $n$ be a positive integer and fix $2 n$ distinct points on a circumference. Split these points into $n$ pairs and join the points in each pair by an arrow (i.e., an oriented line segment). The resulting configuration is good if no two arrows cross, and there are no arrows $\overrightarrow{A B}$ and $\overrightarrow{C D}$ such that $A B C D$ is a convex quadrangle oriented clockwise. Determine the number of good configurations.
