WHAT IS BADMINTON?
Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) ог two opposing pairs
(doubles), who take positions opposite on 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.
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.
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.
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,
Netherlands, France, the Ireland, New Zealand,
Scotland, and Wales as its founding members.
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.
SINGLE 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.
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.
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.
BADMINTON FAULT
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.
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.
