Finally got TBCB installed and did a bit of investigating.

Bad News:
Looks like the only xml exports are for fighter data. The process of exporting fighter is really tedious so I don't know how useful this would be.

You can save Schedules and Fight Cards, but it's to a custom TBSS and TBSF format. I don't think it would be easy or even possible to generate these files outside of TBCB.

This means scheduling will not be easy to handle in the management app. Schedules generated by the management app would have to be manually entered in TBCB.

Good News:
All fights are saved to the "History" directory in HTML files. These files are very easy to parse. You could easily match fighters from both systems by name.

Fight history files can serve a few purposes- parsed to build fighter records and stats, parsed to store a database of fights and finally as a way to reference fight data without going into TBCB.

..

My only concern now is mitigating tons of labor intensive data entry to get the fight schedules from one system to the other.
