I'm in the process of creating a custom database and I have a few questions to make sure that it is compatible with the "Add Historical Major League" Feature...

1 - Is there a max number of teams or divisions that can be imported or does it have to be 30, or the actual real life # of teams for that year?

2 - I think I read somewhere that it is required to have 2 sub leagues named "AL" and "NL". Is this true?

3 - Does it matter what year I import as long as I have players and teams for that year in the db?

4 - Will the import fail if I have duplicate Player ID's? I have a lot of duplicate players (ie '23 Ruth, '27 Ruth, '32 Ruth) all with the same Player ID (ruthba01). I changed them to ruthba01a, ruthba01b, and ruthba01c etc. But I fear that out of the 3500 players, I may have missed a duplicate ID or 2. Will the import fail just because of that?
