Developer API
Hooks are available for use in development, listed as:
ConquestSystem_PointCaptured, Args = TeamName, PointName
ConquestSystem_CapturedPointTick, Args = TeamName, PointName - this hook is called once per second.
ConquestSystem_PointLost, Args = TeamName, PointName

Not working

All hooks in that AI are serverside. You can learn about the different states on the wiki: Game States. SERVER and CLIENT.

If you want it transferred to the client, you have to learn the net system: Net Library Usage.

I mean, for his use if he just wants to let players know he could use http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/ChatPrint

Serverside:
-- First you need to add a network string with a name that is probably not already used by the gamemode or any addons.
util.AddNetworkString( "team_Point_Captured" )

-- The next line should only be added if it has not been already.
local ply = FindMetaTable( "Player" )

-- Next, you should send the net message to the client when a point is captured.
hook.Add( "ConquestSystem_PointCaptured", "_captured", function( teamName, pointName )
net.Start( "team_Point_Captured" )
net.WriteString( teamName )
net.WriteString( pointName )
net.Send( ply )
end)

Clientside:
-- The client should receive the net message from the server.
net.Receive( "team_PointCaptured", function()
-- Next, the messages should be read in order from when they were sent.

local teamName = net.ReadString()
local pointName = net.ReadString()
-- Lastly, the message should be printed to the player's chat using the PrintMessage function with the HUD_PRINTTALK Enum.
PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, teamName .. " has captured " .. pointName .. "." )
end)

Why are you looking the MetaTable of the player and sending that? Player metatable != player entity.

Instead of using net.Send, you could just use net.Broadcast

also there is no need for any kind of networking anyway, and you example wouldn't work anyway - PrintMessage is serverside so he could have just used that in the hook.
