Okay, I'm going to list this as a bug, but I'm prepared to be corrected.

I have a build 12270 universe that I created with two subleagues of three divisions each. With wildcards selected, this gave me three rounds of playoffs.

Fifteen days into the game (January 15th of the first year) I reorganized into one subleague of four divisions, trying to prevent sub.500 teams from making the playoffs. I couldn't delete the empty subleague, so I deleted its name and left it.

The problem is that I now have only one round of playoffs, so not even all of my divisional winners will get in. That doesn't change when I enable/disable wildcards. I've tried disabling and re-enabling playoffs in the hope that it will reset, but it hasn't.

I will try two things later tonight, then report back: Disabling interleague play, then generating a new schedule; and switching two of the divisions back into the empty subleague, re-enabling balanced schedule interleague play, then generating a new schedule. If anyone has additional ideas to try, I'd be happy to hear them. Failing those attempts, this would seem to be a bug.
