Although only the programs Vega and Orion can publish the results on this site the event can be added in the calendar by any organizer. To get the programs Vega and/or Orion visit the official site.

How much this service costs?

It is free of charge. Nobody will bother you with unwanted email and/or request of donations. However you have to be patient allowing few not obtrusive ads. If your tournament cannot permit the ads just write us and we can find a way to solve the problem.

I am an Organizer. Can I manage the player registration myself without Vega/Orion (insertion, modification and deletion)?

Of course, Vegaresult meets the needs of the most demanding organiser.

Can I copy data from this site and publish it elsewhere?

The answer is: it depends for what purpose. Read this document Terms and conditions to understand what you can do. Don't forget to correctly cite the source on every page where the data taken from this site appears, i.e. add “VegaResult: https://www.vegaresult.com”. To avoid legal issue, write to us and we will resolve any doubts.

I am a chessplayer. Can I register to the desired tournament? Do I need to login?

Just locate the tournament of your interest and fill in the form giving your email. A confirmation link is sent to you. There is no need to login and we do not ask you telephone number or other sensible data.

What does mean the field "interest" in the search form?

The word "interest" has 3 options: International, National and local, depending by the audience of the chess event. If the players that can participate in at least one of the sections of your event are from a foreign country, then your event is "international". In case the players that can join the event are restricted to players of a given federation/country, then the event is "national". The event is "local" if the participation is limited to players belonging to a limited area of a given federation/country (club, province, region,...). Please make sure to assign the correct "interest" flag to your event because the misuse may cause the user to be banned. The correct labeling of your event will permit an easy search from the players interested in joining the event.

What it is the difference between "Event" and "Section" in the create event page?

A chess "event" may have several "sections" or tournaments. Some time a chess event has only one section/tournament. Once you have created an event you must add at least a section/tournament or your event will not appear in any search.

I would like to test the service but I do not want make visible my experiment. Is there a way to make private a tournament?

Yes, there is. When you create an event set the field 'public' to 'N'.

Can I publish my pgn games?
