After the filter has been defined, the user must enter a string of at least 6 characters long. If the
user enters the string ****** all the players in the database are shown (for the FIDE database it is
necessary to select a country code to limit the output). The user should ensure there is enough
memory in the computer to avoid a program crash that might be caused by loading a huge database.
Vega will show all the players matching the entered string (the search is not case sensitive). To add
a player to the tournament, the user must:
• Select a player.
• Double click the selected player or press the ENTER key.
• Select a range of players: Left click of the first player, hold down SHIFT and left click on
the last and then press Add Selected to import all players at once. The user can also select
multiple players by holding down the key CTRL and left-clicking on each player.
