If you need the original data intact write a conversion routine you can run at 
any time.  It should read the 'personIDs' field for each team and use it to 
write data into a new table.  Then you can use this new table in as many 
queries as you want.

The code which depends on the existing tables doesn't need to know about the 
new table so your 'someone else' shouldn't care.
