Did you select 2006 when you created a tournament? Open the XML file in an editor and change the year ranges. Right now they are 2005 thru 2011 I believe. I changed the years to reflect 2012 thru 2015. Not that I would need to schedule anything further than a week or two, let alone a couple of years.

I edited the product-tournament2008.xml file and added this in two different places:

<select name="year" title="year" tabindex="1">
<option title="year" value="2012">2012</option>
<option title="year" value="2013">2013</option>
<option title="year" value="2014">2014</option>
<option title="year" value="2015">2015</option>
</select>

Re-upload your xml file to overwrite the existing one. It won't fix whatever dates are currently in there, but at least no further tournaments will be created with previous years. Not sure if this helps or not, but I believe it's the problem you are having. I'm new to this mod also and I'm just making my way around and trying to fix errors.
