Because of ST2's personal reasons, the Tournament was anticipated 1 (one) week.
So, from now on, there's 3 training weeks.
Good luck us all

Small update: There was a big gap between the start and when a new train appeared! So, here's the list of changes:
- Start year increased from 1980 to 1985;
- Introduced LLtrainset to give a bump on the start;
- Increased freight_trains to 12;
- Increased Reward Points of Winner company to 1400 points; (other ranks are calculated accordingly)

My biggest tip is: PURR Universal Rainbow Rails are in use, and that I recommend! Are Universal and speed limitations not being used (neither each colour building costs) so, can be used to identify tracks or whatever fancy use can get! Just a hint ^^

NOTE: As stated, it was for my personal reasons that Tourny isn't viable on July 1st; by myself anticipated to June 24th. Other possibility was to postpone, making it on July 8th!
So, I leave here the challenge: What's your preferred date for the tournament?
(no agreement on date or not a majority, it remains as announced now)

After an irrefutable proposal, final date is July 8th.

Edit: Since I forgot to make it on years change, thought this was the time for:All bans were removed! As said, this was usually a new years action, to give banned players a 2nd chance and keep admins on their toes! Well, both intentions still fit ^^

Sign up us, please, with Chi.
"Chiflo & r5 transport". First colour red, secondary yellow.
Thank in advance 0/

Chiflo helped me a lot on defining this final settings. Hopefully all good to the (new) date of July 8th!
As noticed, the settings aren't for the faint of heart - will require pulse, patience and strength! Well, what else expected from a BTPro Tournament ^^

To the first ones signing up, my special thanks!
Training server is up to everyone
