Also known as the World Ladies' Cup.

正官庄 (Jeonggwanjang) is an international women's cup sponsored by a Korean company. It underwent a major format revision in 2004-2005 and the individual tournament format was changed to the same three-country team format used in the Nongshim Cup. The current format involves three groups for China, Japan, and Korea of five players apiece, with a team champion prize of 75 million Won (roughly US$72 thousand in January 2005).

See /Teams for information on who was playing on specific teams.

John F. This is wrong because the middle character is kwan, so even you use Korean governemnt transliteration it has to be Jeonggwanjang. But in fact the sponsoring company itself usually uses the name Cheongkwanjang (Upright Official's Village) as a registered brand name. It sometimes also renders it as Jungkwanjang.

nachtrabe: You mean the name is incorrect? I went with the most common form used in English media and on English websites. Well, at least this explains why I had trouble finding information on the company. From what you said, is the proper name 정관장?

John F. The proper name is 正官庄 We are talking ginseng. The most common forms you're seeing probably all derive from Momoyama. Stick with GoGoD :)
