Problems with random matchup/wi-fi competiton penalty in White 2

Golden_Charmander

Dragon Master
So a couple of weeks ago I wanted to try out random matchup to see what it was like, having never done so before. Without realising it, I hadn't changed parties from the Pokemon I had been breeding to my lv100 competetive team. I quit the match early, unaware of the one hour penalty that is in place to stop rage quitters, and obviously found out the hard way that quitting random matchups is bad.

Anyway, it has been at least three weeks since doing this, yet whenever I try to play random matchup or sign up to the current tournament I get the one hour penalty message.

I've been trying to sign up every few hours or so for four days now and still get the same message.

I am able to access Game Sync with no problems. Also my Pokemon are legit and not banned in random matchups. It has nothing to do with my Pokemon. The copy of White 2 that I own is also definitely legitimate.

EDIT: I have tried leaving the game on with the DS open for over an hour just now and I am still getting the same message when I try to enter random matchups.

I've tried searching around for people with the same problem as me but have come up with nothing. Any ideas why I'm still getting this message? :/
