I'm pretty sure I remember Danny saying this year that one of the few cases where a second run would be acceptable is a drastic mismatch in the generated schedule stats. So if all teams play against ~25 opponents, but a few play against only 15, for example. Of course, you'd still have to check with HQ, but that's one of the situations where they could allow it.

I don't think it would have applied to your particular case though, since the with/against numbers for your team (and all others) could still have been in an acceptable range, even with a couple repeated opponents.
