I'm going to hate doing this guys, but too many of you are failing to adhere to the rules and it's leading to games being schedule way later than they should be and scheduling issues. So here's the deal - if the lower seeded team has tried to send a challenge to a higher seeded team and it has not been accepted or there are no available scrimmage dates then before day 10 because a team has more than 3 scrimmages already scheduled, the higher seeded team will be forfeiting their game. I've always been quite clear on the rules and too many people are ignoring them and I can't have that being the precedent that is being set.
If games are not scheduled tomorrow and not before day 10 and you did not meet the below rules, your team will forfeit. No exceptions.

The tournament rules are simple - failure to meet them, however, will result in forfeiture. No second chances. Period.
#1 - you must have an available scrimmage slot available as long as you are still in the tournament.
#2 - the lower seeded team is responsible for sending the challenge.
#3 - you have three days from the time you know your matchup to send a challenge. If the other team has not responded within 24 hours of your request, you must post so in the tournament thread. The onus will then shift to the higher seeded team to accept the challenge within three days. For the opening round, you will have three days from the first date scrimmages are able to be scheduled. Thereafter, you will have three days either from the time the brackets are posted in the Friendlies Forum or one of the Addicts organizers or myself has messaged you requesting you to schedule your next game.
Failure to meet one of the above rules will result in forfeiture of your game.
