Little update, I think a new counter-bug has emerged.
Some sponsor slots are already filled but still able to be negociated (ie, Talk Alot has all its S11 spots filled and only one S12 and S13 free; but contract talks still open up at S11-S13. It will surely fail?
If it doesn't (and I am yet to try just yet) then will it start allowing more than the dedicated three slots?
Looking across others, this seems to be happening across many different sponsors.
It will fail for only the S11 option. The system looks at each season and whether it can effectively sponsor then, and if not that season is cancelled.
Thank you for clarification Frank. So to confirm, it will auto fill the later available slots; and leave the other vacant in which to find a single season sponsor elsewhere?
