Badminton

Badminton is a racket sport played by singles or doubles players using a lightweight shuttlecock. A match consists of the best of three games of 21 points each. Points are scored on every serve and awarded to the winner of each rally. Faults can result in losing the point or serve and include illegal contact, double hits, incorrect service, improper service reception, or hitting the shuttlecock over the net. Lets are called for accidental hindrances and result in a re-serve. Service alternates between the left and right service courts depending on whether the server's score is odd or even.

BADMINTON

Badminton is a racket sport game played by


single or pairs with the aim to hit a shuttlecock
over the net to land inside the opponent's Court.

MECHANICS

A point is scored on every serve and


awarded to whichever side wins the rally.
The winning side gets the next serve. If the
score is 20-20, a side must win by two clear
points to win the game. If it reaches 29-29,
the first to get their 30th point wins.

SCORING
A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins that game.
At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
The side winning a game serves first in the next game.

FAULT
These mistakes can result in you losing the
point or service, which can also be referred
to as a fault in badminton.
The types of fouls we will cover can be
divided into five categories: contact,
double hit, service, service received, and
over the net foul

LET
Any accidental hindrance is considered a “let” and there will be a
re-serve. For example, a player or shuttle from another game
entering the court. In a doubles match between A & B against C &
D. A & B won the toss and decided to serve.

SERVICE
At the beginning of the game (0-0) and when the server’s
score is even, the server serves from the right service court.
When the server’s score is odd, the server serves from the
left service court.
If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then
serves again from the alternate service court.
If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and
becomes the new server. They serve from the appropriate
service court – left if their score is odd, and right if it is
even.
