This is usually because of some setting not being set correctly. I say "some" setting because it can be pretty much any setting which can result in this type of crash. I wouldn't be surprised if the standings issue is related to the CTD. Can you post a screenshot of how the standings screen looks weird?

Instead everyone plays back-to-back-to-backs Friday-Sunday pretty much all year. Total number of games is correct, season start and end dates appx match 2019 opening and closing day, so it's not like the season is longer or shorter. I just don't get a normal spread within a given week. AHL and ECHL custom schedules have the same problem.
It could be a limit of the schedule generator but I'd be interested to know what settings you used for the generator. Unfortunately coding schedule generators is notoriously difficult (e.g. the NFL uses supercomputers to generate a range of schedules which are then reviewed and adjusted manually).

That's odd but I wonder if it relates to your scheduling issue.
EDIT: Sadly still crashes when the game is updating at the end of June, so not sure whats going on. Simmed it with no human gms and works perfect so it would seem it's an issue with being a human GM.
Excellent - thank you. I've been completely side-tracked by sorting out a possible DDOS attack, so give me a nudge if I haven't come back to you by Saturday night.

I have tried tweaking various settings and its still not working. I'm not sure whats going on... It appears that it auto seeds up to two first round appointments post qualifiers if there is an uneven # of teams qualifying from each division. I dont know if this is causing the issue or not.
Have you tried completely removing the final stage to see if the league works without it? It might help narrow the issue down.
And this is what the matrix looked like. It's incomplete in this picture but if you look at the Atlantic division it shows how each division was set up:
-32 teams in 4 divisions of 8
-82 total games per team
-Everyone plays everyone in the league for a home and home (31 teams x2 = 62 games)
-Everyone plays their division opponents for an extra home and home (7 teams x2 = 14 games)
-Everyone plays their division "pod" opponents (pods being like, Atlantic 1-4; Atlantic 5-8; Metro 1-4; Metro 5-8; etc) for a third home and home (3 teams x2 = 6 games)

Is there anyway in the editor (or for the 1.5 update) that would allow you to send a player from a CHL team to a CJHL team that a player has rights to? Would be nice it it was similar to sending players to junior from the NHL
Well you can add the CJHL leagues to have 'player rights' in the editor, and in the game it shows up, for example, as BCHL Team A has Player A's rights, even when they are contracted to a WHL team, however the option to 'send player to BCHL Team A' option isn't available like when a player is on an NHL roster but his rights are owned by a CHL team.
What if your are getting a Error that says Custom League North and South Divisional Setup when starting a new Game?
If have moved Teams around like say in Southwest Division aka Pacific mean Team ID one needs to be Anaheim then Arizona then LA then San Jose then Vegas?
Also need to redo Schedule because different numbers of Teams in Divisions and added one extra to each League making it MLB style but almost geographic with Chicago/Minnesota in Northwest Division because a third Conference meaning Central in NHL would make Playoffs not work property.
I did a forum search but I haven't found any information regarding it unfortunately.
I wish to edit the Champions Hockey League to symbolise a "real" European Championship including KHL-teams. I have tried to edit the team licenses and simulate until the next season to see how it turns out, but it seems to reverse back to the "original teams" despite testing to give some other teams A-licenses.
Is there any compatible way to edit the CHL where this does not occur? Would it even be possible to only offer B- and C-licenses to all the teams?
For some reason when I change the number of skaters for the NHL in a saved game, it does not apply. I think I enabled it over the offseason and it showed that I could dress 22 skaters but it did not stick.

Editing saved games isn't like editing a database and so you'll find most changes will either not work or will corrupt your saved game.

Need help finding a date base to work on and steps to implement my new database to see it as an active playable... Lost all my previous work a few months back when my computer burned and killed my hard drive. New computer for Christmas and trying to re-work all the steps I've lost... A step by step again would help thanks guys!
The best places to start would be to look at the below two links. I'd suggest trying an example to get a feel for how to do things before jumping in and doing your own league.
On the Competition -> Club Competitions page in the Editor there's a Classification section, and within that section there's Classification, Divsion Level, and Parent Competition. What does Divsion Level refer to/how is it used?

Division Level refers to the level of that league within that nation. I believe that the Division Level is relative to the league's classification. So the highest league of the classification in that nation should be set to 1, the second highest league should be 2, etc.
For example, the NHL is the highest Domestic League in the US, so that would be set to Division Level 1. The AHL is the next Domestic League down from the NHL and so the AHL would be 2 and the ECHL 3. The USHL is the highest Domestic Junior league in the US, so that would be set to Division Level 1, the second highest Domestic Junior league would be 2, etc.

I'll see if I can look tomorrow, otherwise it'll be next weekend I'm afraid.
