• Both the server and receiver must keep both feet on the ground and not be moving when
the shuttle is served.
• When serving - the shuttle must be hit below the waist with the head of the racket below the wrist.
• The server must serve the birdie behind his/her 10-foot line. The serve must go diagonally
across the net and pass the opponents 10 foot line.
• The server may serve the shuttle from anywhere in their service court.

Doubles:
• In order to figure out who will serve first, a toss will be occur. Whichever team
wins the rally will serve first.
• The partner in the right-hand serving court serves first in each inning. When a score is
made, the person who served continues to serve in the opposite side of the court. On
each score the serving partners switch sides of the court so they serve alternating from
one side of the court to the other side of the court.
• After the rally, the team that starts serving will only serve until the first server's serve is
interrupted. The other team will then serve from the right side of the court. After the first
inning the partners will serve consecutively.
• The doubles service court is short and wide.

their put away position), it will be considered out of bounds.
