Delete Round will delete the current round and bring Vega to the state of “Waiting for pairing” in
the previous round. Vega stores all the data of past rounds so the tournament can be undone right
back to the first round this way.
Reset Tournament will return Vega to the first round with the same players, including the latecomers. This could be useful during a simulation of the tournament.
Modify Tournament permits the modification some of the tournament parameters. Please note that
the system of play can only be changed by reopening the registration.
Reopen Registration will return Vega to the state it was in before closing the registration. The
arbiter must once more close the registration to start the tournament.
Load Round will re-load the round file at round N from backup, if for some reason the normal file
is damaged.

Rank Rating Group. This generates the file rankgrp.txt, containing ranked groups of
players, the groups being defined by specifying rating ranges.
Rank Date Group. Generates the file rankdagr.txt, containing ranked groups of players, the
groups being defined by specifying the year of birthday (format YYYY) ranges. The player date
format could be one of the following: ddmmyy (if yy<20, it means 20yy, otherwise it means 19yy).
Also valid are yyyy, yyyy.mm.dd, yyyy/mm/dd, with mdy in any order.
Missing Point Score System: This is a new way to calculate the final standing in a Swiss
tournament. The method pretends to transform the Swiss system into a round-robin tournament and
tries to predict the results of games amongst players that were not paired in the Swiss tournament.
This is performed by analyzing the cross table and the relationships between all players via their
common opponents. The details of the pairings are saved in the file mpscorelog.txt, while the
new ranking is stored in mpscore.txt. Further details can be found at

Zermelo Score System, Zermelo Score System Extended: This is a new way to calculate the final
standing in a Swiss tournament. See Appendix L for details.
Assign Prize (Hort system). This system aims to better distribute the prize money amongst players
