Adding playoff without decided teams

A playoff can contain "teams" which are not calculated from group play or not exists in the league. Home and away team can be set to whatever name you like. For instance, home "team" can be named "To be decided in week 12" or "Team not decided" or whatever name. NOTE: If a team name is set in this manner, the "team" will NOT be moved to next playoff level (ex from 1/8 and into 1/4-final) by the system. Teams which shall play in next level, must also be decided by manual selection.
