	\|}		\|}

	=== ~~Other documented personnel~~ ===		The 2000 indoor tournament report also refers to an unnamed 13-year-old member of Munro's family playing for Kamo Karzi. The player is not added to the table because the source does not provide a name.[13]

			=== Recorded team entries ===

			The team's normal published name was '''Kamo Karzi'''. Contemporary records also used the spellings '''Kamokarzi''', '''Kamo Kazi''' and '''Kamo Karzis''', together with the shortened forms '''Kamo''' and '''KK'''. These are treated as spelling or shorthand variants of the same New Zealand team.

			Kamo Karzi entered multiple affiliated squads at some smaller tournaments and league rounds. Recorded squad names include:

	~~{\| class="wikitable"~~		* Kamo Karzi 2
	~~! Name~~		* Kamo Karzi #2
	~~! Documented association~~		* Kamo Karzi Team One
	\|-		* Kamo Karzi Team Two
	~~\| Allan Gatland~~
	~~\| Captain at the 1997 Nationals; manager of~~ Kamo Karzi 2 ~~in 1998[2][8]~~
	\|-
	~~\| Paul “Spider” McKay~~
	~~\| Member who recalled joining in 1996 and playing in the 1997 league-winning campaign[16]~~
	\|-
	~~\| Jo Pitts~~
	~~\| Former~~ Kamo Karzi ~~member who subsequently played for Saints; previously associated with NSS[17]~~
	\|-
	~~\| Dazz~~
	~~\| Player at the 2001 Nationals; formerly of Saints[13]~~
	\|-
	~~\| Kerry Munro~~
	~~\| Identified with Rob Maddox as a remaining player when the team disbanded in 2003[15]~~
	\|}

	~~Rob Maddox's identification as the team's contact in a 2002 capture does not establish that he was captain at that time~~.~~[18]~~		These names identify secondary or event-specific Kamo Karzi entries rather than separate permanent teams.

	The ~~sources disagree about Paul McKay~~'~~s joining date: the official team page gives early 1997, while McKay~~'~~s individual profile gives 1996. Both sources connect him with the 1997 campaign~~, ~~but the exact joining date remains unresolved~~.~~[1][16]~~		The separately recorded name '''Kami Kazi''' is not treated as a Kamo Karzi spelling variant because no recovered roster, location or organisational evidence establishes that identity.
