[Scottish Challenge Cup Entry Is Wrong??]

The Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Scottish Challenge Cup is supposed to invite the 2 highest placed English National League teams who do not get promoted, Welsh league teams and N. Irish teams to compete - such as Solihull Moors this season IRL. However This doesn't seem to be the case. Has it happened for anybody else?

Would this be classed as a 'bug'? 

[Sign multiple youth candidates?]

Is there any way to sign multiple youth candidates? I recall from previous iterations that you could 'sign recommended players' via a news article, however now I have to engage in a time consuming act of individually offering youth contracts via pre-contract discussions. 

Thanks.

[No Challenge Cup?!?!?!?!?!?]

Yeah but the invited teams don't get invited?

 

[No Challenge Cup?!?!?!?!?!?]

Thought I'd just qualified for the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Scottish Challenge cup as one of the invited teams from the National League for coming second... But it didn't happen... Just checked Wrexham and Solihulls results and they never played in it even though they did. 
For anyone who doesn't know what I', on about, the Scottish challenge cup invites national league, Welsh and Northern Irish teams to compete.

Is this an oversight? Gutted they missed it!
