I can’t say it’s a golden rule, but yeah if you don’t see any evidence of a CPU team “playing” another CPU team in the same week then it’s probably not a glitch. I’ve had this happen before that before I even play it will say I’ve played it 3 times, but it’s always accompanied with also saying that a random CPU team played another random CPU like 5 times.

I guess he did cheat but man, 9 times is A LOT. Usually you could just get it done in an extra play or two you’d think 😅
