I imagined it'd just borrow another real world league structure and schedule and use that, but apparently not. My hope is that bringing it up will make it possible to get fixed in the next game, anyway.
We thank you for bringing it up. I know I made sure this was passed on and we're currently trying to replicate it. It should have borrowed another league structure, and the fact it didn't is odd. If we can't replicate it, we may need to see your save to find out what happened.

Someone at FHM really needs to review this. If we are not going to be able to edit/create our own schedules, then please at least give us templates that make some sense.
If we aren't informed of something seemingly going wrong, it's tough for us to fix it. The schedule should be balanced automatically, so I would love to see some more details of your league (what structure, did you expand, etc) as to why this happened for you.

As much as the team and testers play the game, it's quite impossible for us to test every outcome because frankly, no one plays the game the same way. We rely on community members such as yourself telling us of your experience which helps us negate these issues.
