26. I run Windows 7 as user. I created a tournament in the installation directory and JaVaFo( Swiss Dutch system) doesn’ t give me the pairing. It is normal. Create the folder tournament OUT of that directory, like in c:\ myTournaments. Moreover if the problem continues, enter your system as administrator, right click the Vega. exe file and set its property to run always as administrator. This is due to Java( JRE) not having the permission to write the output to the Program folder.

30. In 9 round Swiss tournament 16 players was playing in 8 boards. In round 4 three players didn ' t came and the tournament arbiter entered result as 1F-0F. Lets assume the player who came was ' A ' and player who didn ' t came was ' B '. The result was player ' A ' got a point. Again in 6 round player ' A ' was paired with player ' B '!!!?, and this time also ' B ' was absent. This led to taking away the chance of player ' A ' to actually score a point from a good player. And this was repeated again in 9 round for the third time!!!!!. It was very bizarre and no fairness for the Player ' A '. What was the actual reason for the Bizarre out come? Is it due to choosing 1F-0F instead of 1-0, or a software bug? Can u please clarify this issue in detail.
That behavior is quite normal and a rule for FIDE competition see D. 2 of this document http:// www. fide. com / fide / handbook. html? id = 84 & view = article This is because it was an unplayed game and that players never played each other.
