In a chess tournament, every participant played with each other exactly once, receiving $1$ point for a win, $1/2$ for a draw and $0$ for a loss. (a) Is it possible that for every player $P$, the sum of points of the players who were beaten by P is greater than the sum of points of the players who beat $P$? (b) Is it possible that for every player $P$, the first sum is less than the second one?
