Regarding the players for each team, there were some discrepancies between the English language sources and the Korean sources. Additionally, there were also discrepancies between some of the articles from the Korea Times and the score cards. I used Korean language sources for all the Korean names, except in the case of Kim, Hi-Yon, as the original Korean source was missing the second part of his given name. In this case I used the original scorecard information, but I also found Hi-ryon and Hi-yong as alternate spellings in other sources. For the romanization of the Korean names I used the official scorecard (which personally I don't like and if you can read Korean, will notice is not very accurate, although neither was the Korea Times). I followed the Korean standard of family name, given name for all Korean names in both Korean and English.
