I found this on rec.games.chess.misc posted by: "Luigi Forlano" <forlano@fis.unical.it> Dear Chessfriends, Let me inform you about the new software VEGA (1.0 alpha) for tournament administration. http://utenti.lycos.it/forlano/vega/en/ (English) http://utenti.lycos.it/forlano/vega/ (Italian) VEGA includes the following functions: - Registration up to 999 players; - Vega is crossplatform and run under DOS, Windows and Linux (same look and feel with button, menu bar, window etc...!); - Evaluation of 14 rounds (this limit can be extended under windows and Linux); - Automatic pairing due to the FIDE-SWISS-Rules (Dubov variant), - Manual pairing; - Taking care of odd numbers of players; - Evaluation of results (1-0, 1/2, 0-1, 0-0, etc...); - Administration of the cross-table; - Possibility of changing data (results, names, ratings etc.); - Taking care of withdrawals and re-entries; - Entry of players arriving late during the tournament; - Output of pairing lists, reports, cross-tables, lists of players standing, etc.. - Vega is FREEWARE! VEGA has been designed to be very intuitive... really very intuitive, and easy to use. If you are an arbiter with a little experience in chess pairing program you should be able to use it without to read the user manual. Of course for some details the user manual is mandatory. I wait your comments!
