The Capital Match has been played since 1938, when Sweden's Crown Prince Gustav Adolf instituted it and presented a trophy. Only during the years during the war and most recently during the corona has it not been played. The order of the capitals is fixed and is only interrupted when a country wins the trophy, at which point the royal house presents a new one and the match is then played in that country, after which the order is resumed. It must be won 4 times before it becomes property and a new one is presented.
This year, the match was held on the oldest court in Stockholm and won by Finland.
The team consists of 3 men in the hcp groups
-2.4. – 3.4
3.5 – 7.4
7.5 – 11.4
And since 1980 supplemented with a lady hcp -2.4. -10.4, the lady plays with a handicap.
All players must be 22 years of age or older.
The tournament committee selects the team at its own discretion.
It looks at:
That the player is actively participating in the club's official tournaments that year.
That there is a regulated handicap for the season in question, which shows a picture of the player's current form.
This year KGK sent Tuula Undal, Jan Andersen (team captain), Thomas Buch Jensen and Claus Walløe Bloch Thomsen.
This year Finland won and in 2023 it will be played on the Copenhagen course. KGK's 125th anniversary.
