The working area of Vega consists of a menu bar , 3 tabbed pages ( Players Archive , Round Manager , Output ), and a status bar and database area .
When the program starts , the page titled Players Archive is shown :
The File menu gives access to a series of operations including the opening and closing of files , the creation or modification of a tournament and exiting from the program . The three tabbed pages refer to three functions that the arbiter can perform during a tournament .
1 . Players Archive : here it is possible to register players , close the registration and start the tournament , modify player details even after the tournament has started , manage withdrawals and late entries and print the list of players .
2 . Round Manager : here it is possible to generate and modify pairings for the next round , insert the results of the current round or revisit and correct previous rounds .
