4. What is Badminton?
Badminton is a racquet sport
played by either two opposing
players (singles) or two
opposing pairs (doubles), who
take positions on opposite
halves of a rectangular court
that is divided by a net. A rally
ends once the shuttlecock has
struck the ground, and each side
may only strike the shuttlecock
once before it passes over the
net.
5. The Shuttlecock
The shuttlecock (or Birdie) is a feathered projectile whose
unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently
from the balls used in most racquet sports
The feathers create much higher drag, causing the
shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball.
Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared
to other racquet sports.
Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive
badminton is played indoors.
Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational
activity, often as a garden or beach game.
6. History and Development
The beginnings of Badminton can
be traced to mid-18th century
British India, where it was created
by British military officers.
Being particularly popular in the
British garrison town Poona (now
Pune), the game also came to be
known as Poona.
This game was taken by retired
officers back to England where it
developed and rules were set out.
7. History Continued
The new sport was launched in
1873 at the Badminton House,
Gloucestershire, owned by the
Duke of Beaufort.
The game's official name became
Badminton.
The International Badminton
Federation (IBF) was established
in 1934 by Canada, Denmark,
England, France, the
Netherlands, Ireland, New
Zealand, Scotland, and Wales as
its founding members.

8. Scoring System
A match consists of the best of 3
games of 21.
Every time there is a serve a
point is scored.
The side winning the rally adds a
point to it’s score.
Each game must be won by a 2
point advantage.
At 29 all – the team to score the
30th point will win.
A side winning a game will
serve in the next game.
9. Singles Play
At the beginning of a game (0-0), and when the servers
score is even, the server will serve from the right service
court. When the servers score is odd, the server serves
from the left service court.
If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and
serves again from the alternate service court.
If the receiver wins a rally, they score a point and serve
from the appropriate service court – left if their score is
odd, and right if their score is even.
10. Doubles Play
In doubles, if the serving side wins a rally, the same player
continues to serve, but s/he changes service courts so that
she/he serves to each opponent in turn.
The opponents remain in their service court until they win a
rally.
If the opponents win the rally and their new score is even, the
player in the right service court serves; if odd, the player in the
left service court serves.
The players' service courts are determined by their positions at
the start of the previous rally.
A consequence of this system is that, each time a side regains
the service, the server will be the player who did not serve last
time.
11. Details
When the server serves, the shuttle must pass over the short
service line on the opponents court.
If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until side
gains a two point advantage.
The server and receiver must remain within their service
courts, without touching a boundary line until until the server
strikes the shuttle.
The other two players may stand wherever they wish as long
as they do not obstruct the view of the server/receiver.
12. Faults
Players win a rally if their opponents commit a fault.
The most common fault in badminton is when players fail to
return the shuttlecock so that it passes over the net and lands
inside the opponents court.
Neither the server or receiver may lift a foot until the
shuttlecock has been struck by the server.
The server must hit the base or cork of the shuttlecock.
Each side may only hit the shuttlecock once before it passes
back over the net.
It is also a fault if the shuttlecock hits the ceiling.
13. Let
If a let is called, the rally is
stopped and replayed with no
change in score.
Lets may occur when there is
an unexpected disturbance.
EX. – a shuttle landing on
your court which was hit
from an adjacent court.
