I think it doesn't like if a needed file is modified while the program is open. I don't know if there is anything that can be done about that, though.
This appears to be the case with many or all of the files that the program opens. I have tried some things that I thought would fix this, but I haven't managed to knock this one out yet. For now I am modifying error dialogs to recommend restarting the program where appropriate.

If there is an error with the manual teamlist it can be edited and retried because the dialog box closes. I will probably implement a button or menu option to load lists in addition to the automatic prompt so that list files can be fixed without restarting the program.

Also, a note: If you're generating a fresh draft setup, it's a good idea to remove old tiers--it'll pick them up as good ones if they're still around. (Saw that just now, going from my test draft (4 tiers) to AZ (2 tiers)--tiers 1 and 2 changed to AZ tiers, tiers 3 and 4 stuck around and were opened up when I started the program.)
This confused the heck out of me yesterday, but I forgot to post about it. I spent a long time trying to figure out why the right number of tiers were not being created when I used one of the manual tiers options.
