The answer to 1a is "no."

As to the rest, I think these are the sorts of things we will discover during this process. I fully expect there to be a number of these issues.

FWIW, regarding 1c, I don't believe the intent here is to use CATO data to create a new league. All we're intending on doing is importing the historical data, so that OOTP's history reports will include all of the CATO history as well. (Or at least, that portion which OOTP supports.)

You're right - the player matching may be problematic. We may end up with a manual process. Matching names is challenging, because there could be multiple Dave Smiths. Perhaps matching on a combo of name and date of birth, if CATO has that field available...
