Given a point set $U$ in an $n$-dimensional affine space of size $q ^{n - 1} - \varepsilon $, we obtain information on the structure of the set of directions that are not determined by $U$, and we describe an application in the theory of partial ovoids of certain partial geometries.
Classification : 51E20, 51E14
Keywords: directions in an affine space, partial ovoids, partial geometries.
