*NOTE: Formosa was the international “neutral” name for the Nationalist China of Taiwan island (as opposed to the Communist China in the mainland). In addition to the traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwanese, I transcribe the names of players according to their local pronunciation (instead of the usual Pinyin system used for Mandarin). Compare, for example, Tong Suet Fong (唐雪舫) with the expected Chinese form Táng Xuĕfăng.
