We investigate the linear statistics of random matrices with purely imaginary Bernoulli entries of the form $H_{pq} = \overline{H} _{qp} = \pm i$, that are either independently distributed or exhibit global correlations imposed by the condition $\sum _{q} H_{pq} = 0$. These are related to ensembles of so-called random tournaments and random regular tournaments respectively. Specifically, we construct a random walk within the space of matrices and show that the induced motion of the first $k$ traces in a Chebyshev basis converges to a suitable Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Coupling this with Stein’s method allows us to compute the rate of convergence to a Gaussian distribution in the limit of large matrix dimension.
