Yes please, always a help to the team if they have the root file! 

The cup competitions that cause the error run fine and work perfectly when testing competitions in the editor.

If required, I still have a copy of the file which wouldn't verify.

Really sorry you never did get a response to this, but we're investigating ahead of the future versions and we'll look to action any issues we find. Thank you for your continued patience. 

Just to add to this, I ended up having to give the cup competition the competition type of "domestic division" in order for it to verify, despite it being a cup competition.

Screenshots are using the CCAA Championship as an example, but the situation is exactly the same with U-Sports.

Thank you so much - do let us now.  

OK, I have now ran a handful of test saves, each for a number of years and I haven't experienced this issue again. As this was first experienced a few versions ago, I would assume that one of the previous updates did something that rectified the issue.

Circling back to this as despite some testing it was never one we were ever get to reproduce but we don't want to leave it behind as we begin work on the next cycle. 

On the off chance you're still around, could you let us know if you still experience this issue on the latest updates?

I only seem to experience this if the league isn't active, but I am managing in that particular country. So, for example, managing an MLS side. I have been busy with expanding a database lately, but I will run a quick test save and see if the issue is still present.
