Hang in there. I had the same problem a 1-2 months ago. I am unable to get the new dragons no matter how hard I tried to speed up (but my tournament was very easy, finish it with 1-2 days to spare, no gold lost and less than 20 dragons injured)
Now is the other way round, my tournament is ridiculously hard (had to spend gold, more than 20 dragons injured won the tournament with less than a day left) but breeding is normalised.
