BTPro team announces the Mother's Day tournament: Super Mamma Bee!

Meanwhile, all can practice on our server "-BTPro.nl- #97 - ..:: TRAINING ::..". Enjoy the games

Hints/Advices:
- Training is very helpful, since newgrf used and despite climate is Temperate, mixes a bit with Desert (Tropic) industries. Again, practice will be the key ^^;
- Building costs are bigger so, a "money maker" starting line is advised (and the initial 10 BB goals take ~2 months to appear - "make cash" is a good way to keep fingers hot ^^);
- Tournament number of BB goals isn't small, therefore... and after "big bucks" start rolling, a second pair of hands will help allot - it's recommended to play with a partner ^^ (unless you really trust your construction speed ability... because it will be needed);
- (to add, as it appears)

Sounds like a great tournament! 80 goals!
ST2, sign me for Round 2 (15:00 GMT), please.

Just added some Hints/Advices, because I consider them very important - Anyway, as always, practice makes perfection

Sign me up to both. First one with Yolo and second round with tomb, please !
And can we be pink both times?

wow, Anni is on fire ^^

signing for both O.o

About pink color, since company #1, I'll make it happen ^^

Edit: Initial loan was raised to 400000 GBP and server goal lowered to 60, instead of 80 BB goals. I alert to the fact that during the Tournament day, servers #77 (#XX TESTS), #K1(EXTREME GOAL) and #33 (BusyBee Goals) might be offline. Thank you for the understanding
