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.

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.

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 12
