National rating Vega will use his FIDE rating.

NOTE: The ECF tournament director should refer to Appendix H: Additional Notes for the
ECF Tournament Director.
If the user prefers to run a tournament with accelerated rounds, then he can check the box Acc.
rounds. Before closing the registration, Vega will prompt for the required parameters.
Vega uses a working directory in which it will store all the files generated
during the tournament. Each tournament has its own working directory, if a tournament has many
sections, then each of them should have its own directory. This directory is set by pressing the set
folder button (see next picture). It is recommended to avoid the use of spaces, accented and
unusual characters (such as éçòà°@...#.) when defining its name. The name of the folder is used for
some very important files generated during the tournament.
NOTE: The tournament folder should NOT be created in the installation folder, but in some
area of the hard disk that any user may access, for example, c:\mytournaments.
Depending on your computer you may need the rights of administrator to create it and make it
writable by all users.
Once the New Tournament form has been filled in, the user must click on Done. To correct these
settings later on, select Dangerous Stuff! → Modify Tournament from the File menu.
