Do player awards like Topscorer work for amateur leagues and players?

[MichielVM]

While working on a lower league database, I decided to change the lowest levels from semi-pro to amateur. I had already implemented awards and they worked just fine (most assists, topscorer, team of the season...). I did not change the awards but after the change the awards are no longer awarded to any player and are 'greyed out' instead when the season has ended. 

Do awards not work for amateur teams?

Another possiblity is that I added a promotion-PO to those levels as well, does that new competition stage create issues somehow?

Check the detail level you're running the league in. I've noticed awards sometimes aren't simulated if there's nothing important going on there. It could be the switch to amateur has made the game change their default detail level. If you increase it, maybe even try full detail (slows down you're game if you have lots of leagues in full detail, but if you manage in it then it's full detail by default so simulating it like that would better show how it works when playing it) and see if the awards work then.

That might be it, I've been testing, so I probably set it to low detail. Would be an easy fix. I'll report back when I get to trying this out.

So I got around to testing this workaround, but strangely, it did not work. I'm going to try if I can solve this issue with league flags. The database seems to have trouble registering league history as well. I think it might get confused because I have some hidden stages before the actual league stage (to force relegate B-teams that are too close to their main team etc.).
