This is how I usually go about it when I challenge a team.
First of all I try to have the icqs of the teamleaders for the top 20 teams and then some that I know of in any way.
I regurlarly keep in touch with them and cheer them when I see them beat another team and then sometimes politely ask when its our turn...I play on several servers regurlarly..WKK, MS, 45Cdo, SWEC, TNF, OFK (not anymore) and so on...
The problem is that noone really refuse direct to me, the most usual thing is like what llauma described...we decide to match and when I wait for confirmation of time and date and number of players they just disappear for a week or two...
An other thing is that they tell me a few days in advance that they had another match they forgot or that they cant field any players that particular day and ask to give me a new date (which they never do)...
I readily admit that during the last weeks I havent done much to get a match going but before my break I was constantly trying to set up matches...I would estimate that behind every played match there is about 10 hours spent searching for an opponent and seeting the match up.

When critiscising someone you should first walk a mile in that persons boots, that way he will be a mile away........and you have his boots.
