10 months ago I'm pretty sure this can't be fixed without a client patch, unfortunately. It seems the client just ignores the bracket progress data when the player loads the tournament state at the lobby counter. I'm guessing Sega just didn't quite finish the tournament feature before releasing the game (the presence of a couple of other related unused commands would seem to suggest this).
During a tournament, progress is not reflected at the lobby counter.
It is fully functional in the "Check Status" option in the main menu, however the lobby counter will always show yellow text as if the tournament has not started.
These two images were taken at the same time. I don't have logs currently - there was a lot happening on the server at the time, but let me know if you need anything and I'll get an environment to grab them.
