RULES OF BADMINTON A match can be played with either 1 or 2 player per each team (singles and doubles). To score a point the shuttle must land inside the parameter of the opponents side of the court. If the shuttle hits the net or lands out side of the opponents side then the point will be awarded to there opponent. Once the shuttle is live, then the players are allowed to move around the court, so they can hit it out of there side of the court. If any part of the players body or racket touches the net then there opponent gets the point. Faults can also be called if a player distracts the opponent in any way, also if the player catchers the shuttle with there racket when throw or if the shuttle is hit twice by a player before it returns it. The ref can call let to pause play if either of the players is not ready, or if an unforeseen accident arose.

REGULATIONS OF BADMINTON The court must be 6. 1 m by 13. 4 m. The net must be 1. 55 m off of the ground. The serving player must serve diagonally across the court to there opponent. The players will keep changing boxes on there side of the court. In badminton there are no second serves, so if you don’t get your serve right then the opponent wins the point. A serve must be underarm and below the players waist. Each game will start with a toss to decide which player will serve first and which side they will start on. The game is monitored by a ref who is on a high chair, that allows him/her to have an over view of the court. There must also be line judges, who keep track of where the shuttle lands in relation to the tram lines. The ref can over rule the line judges if he disagrees The games only stop of 2 rest periods, one after the first game for 90 seconds, and then again after the second game for 5 minutes.

THE SCORING SYSTEM OF BADMINTON The player that starts is determined by a coin toss. The player that wins the coin toss then starts the game. A rally will then start up and the person that wins that gets a point. To win a game, a player must get to 21 to win, providing that his/her opponent is 2 or more points behind them. If there opponent is with in the 2 points then they will keep playing until the gap is a 2 point game. The match is the decided by a best of three games.
