Option to reduce off days re:playoffs

Hello all
This is more for tournaments, but can be added for seasonal play as well.
In real-life tournaments, there usually aren't days off between the end of group play and the playoffs, or between playoff rounds. In OOTP, there is an off day between each round.
I am in favor of this as an option, mainly because some might not care; I have the tournaments played in a specific time period (2 weeks), so off days do affect the regular teams.
In addition: in the WBC, the modified double elimination took 4 days per round. In OOTP, it takes 6 or 7 days. This is another way that off days affects game play.

Agreed. Is this still not possible? I'd like to eliminate the off days between tournament playoff rounds. I set up a ladder tournament and I want the games every day.

Heck, even if we could edit the date of a game that's already in the schedule editor that would work. For my ladder tournament I can't even manually make it work correctly because I can't edit the date of an automatically scheduled game. In order to add a "Tournament Playoff" game I have to select the teams from their regular league. OOTP then adds the game to their league schedule instead of the tournament schedule. The tournament isn't even in the "Select League" dropdown menu on the schedule editor.

So then OOTP doesn't recognize it as a tournament game and the tournament never finishes if I delete the automatically scheduled game.
