Let the maximum degree d of a digraph D be the maximum of the set of all outdegrees and indegrees of the points of D. We prove that every digraph D of order P and maximum degree d has a d-regular superdigraph H with at most d + 1 more points, and that this bound, which is independent of p, is best possible.
