T = total number of registered players; P = Playing players in the current round (players
appearing in the pairing); B = players that got a draw/ BYE; A = absent players.
To modify a player already added, the user should right click the wanted player and choose Edit. To
accept the modification it is necessary left click the mouse in any place inside the registered player
area.
To delete a player the user should:
1. Select the player in the Player list.
2. Press the button Remove Player.
The players and tournament data are saved in the file .veg. This file is
described in Appendix J.
2.3 Closing the Registration
When the user has finished inserting the players, click the Close Registration button to start the
tournament. Vega will re-order the list of players in order of decreasing rating.
Once the registration is closed, it is not possible to remove players, only modify existing ones. The
user can add late entrants by pressing the Add Player button (see section 2.11.6 for details).
2.4 New Pairing
The pairing is performed in the Round Manager page. From left to right the buttons perform the
following operations:
Accept WWW/BBB: When this is checked, Vega allows pairings in which a player can have the
same color three times in a row. This option is useful to force pairing between players with a perfect
score (players who have won all their games), which might otherwise not be possible due to the
color allocation rule. This situation can occur easily when the number of players is less than or
equal to 2R, where R is the programmed number of rounds.
NOTE: For the Dubov system, this option conflicts with the FIDE rules and cannot be used in
a FIDE tournament. For the Lim system, this is automatically taken into account in the last
round and cannot be used in FIDE tournaments before the last round. For the Dutch system
(JaVaFo engine) this option has no effect.
Danubian variant: When this is checked, Vega uses a different rule for article 7.2 of the Dubov
system (see Appendix K for details).
Avoid Pairs: Pressing this button opens a new window in which the user can indicate which pairs
