They must have spent about 1% of the game budget on their League interface because this is a bunch of bullshit. Try to get into contact with Skidiwili and if they surface I will set up a temporary open league, bring both your teams into it by dropping from tourney league, and you can play there. Afterwards we can look to see what it does to the schedule.
Unfortunately if you advance to the point of winning the tournament you might not be able to get tagged as the final winner, sorry :/
