I'm sure that someone on the discussion forum can walk you through how to fix it - I've seen others run into the same kind of issues.
I think I'm going to go back to the Division Series being best-of-five... I like the sense of urgency that length of series gives without it being too short. I've experienced lots of drama when I had that format. I'll stick to the Union Championship Series being best-of-seven, and for the Pro Cup Series as well.

I have posted for help on the OOTP Discussions Forum... they seem to think I'm OK... but I am troubled by the fact that the AI ignored my best-of-3 playoff series and didn't advance Rolling Hills and Valmara after they won the first two games.
You can only choose the playoff system in the preseason... but you can adjust the playoff schedule of each team during the season... I created the playoff schedule before the playoff began.
I think I caused the problem... the playoff system had already set the schedule prior to the playoffs... I changed the team seedings they had set up and created new seedings.
The game has kept the first two playoff stats for all the players, but it didn't keep the team records... when I redid the schedule it shows 0-0 for all the team records.
I'm going to replay the opening round and see if the AI will advance to the next round properly... if it doesn't, I don't know what to do.
The best thing to do is always keep it simple... don't make a lot of changes that aren't absolutely necessary... don't fix it, if it's not broken... wish I have never changed the best-of-seven playoff mode.
I don't blame the game... it is my ignorance that caused this problem... the AI got mixed signals from me and my schedule and seeding changes.
