• In the team tournament, teams generally dominate from clubs in Central and North Zealand, Greater Copenhagen, East Jutland, Aalborg, Odense.
• From municipalities with a total of about 1,400,000 inhabitants, no team will reach the top 4 levels in the Danish team tournament.
• Thus, there are several badminton centers and large badminton deserts.
It is the breadth that is the prerequisite for a continuous and relatively large elite.
It is not the elite that helps to create the breadth. That myth has been pierced by several studies!
682 clubs (about 94,000 members) are members of Badminton Denmark (619 and about 170,000 in 1985).
The average number per club has dropped from 275 (1985) to 138 (2019).
