3. Vega for Team Tournament: VegaTeam
Most of the features described in section 2 are also valid for the team version. However, there are a
number of differences that are covered in this section.
3.1 Creating a New Tournament
To create a new tournament, proceed as with Vega with File → New Tournament in the menu bar.
A new form will prompt the user to enter essential information to define the tournament. In
particular there are two new fields:
Boards is the number (max 10) of players that will sit at the tables to play.
Max Bo. is the total number of members in a team, i.e. it is Boards plus the reserves. The max value
is 10.
Pairing score is the principal score used to rank the teams and to realize the pairing. The user has
two possibilities:
• Sum Player Results. All poin ts scored by individual players (0 for losses, ½ for draw, and 1
for wins) are accumulated.
• Match Points. Points 0, 1, or 2 are assigned to the team after each match. For example, if
team A faces team B with 6 players with result of +3 =2 –1, then team A gets 2 points and
team B gets zero points.
