Hey Todd,
Thanks for posting here. Your question is a good one that may help others. It looks like you have done everything right with the file. I took the file you mailed to me, reduced it to the first 3 games, and imported it to my dev site without any problems so ….
First, you stated that you downloaded the sample files, did you successfully upload any of them? That’s really what you want to do to get started. When that works, here are some questions:
1. Are you selecting a schedule in the CSV Import screen before importing the file?
2. Are any of these teams in the Teams DB before the import?
3. Do any games at all import? I saw there’s nothing on the front end, but are there any games on the Games Admin Screen? (If games are showing up in the DB, then it’s an issue with the shortcode incantation.) If not, then I would suggest:
a. Reduce your file to ONE or TWO games and try again.
b. Turn on WP DEBUG on your WP site. Try to import, then take a look at your debug.log in the /wp-content directory.
4. Finally, we can go back to first steps … What version of WP? (I’m on 4.6.1.) … What version of the plugin? (I’m on 1.4.1.) What theme? (I’m using a child theme from Twentytwelve.) What other plugins? (I’m running a bunch.) If there’s something happening with all that, it will show up in the debug.log.
Let me know.

BTW, the only way to “attach” files in this forum is exactly the way you did it. Load the file somewhere that is publicly accessible, and provide a link. Otherwise, you can just email it, like you did.
