I'm creating the second division in the United States, the USL Championship. The league structure is this: 2 conferences, east and west. 7 teams from each conference make the playoffs, the winner of each conference plays for the championship. Where I'm running into trouble: I have 7 teams from the eastern conference going to the playoff stage, but I can't get the 7 teams from the west to pass on. Here's the stage structure:
0 - regular season (this includes both conferences)
1 - eastern conference playoffs
2 - western conference playoffs
3 - final
Stage 1 and 2 run simultaneously. I can get playoff teams to pass into stage 2 but I can't get teams to pass into stage 2. The playoff teams for stage 2 should come from group 1 in stage 0 (stage 0 has two groups, group 0 and group 1). Anyone know why?
Up to USL Championship 2.fmf
