Badminton basic rules
Out of signs and features get to know the basic rules and regulations also.
- Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net.
- Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" (with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side).
- Each game is played to 21 points, with players scoring a point whenever they win a rally regardless of whether they served
- If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until one side gains a two-point lead (such as 24–22), except when there is a tie at 29-all, in which the game goes to a golden point. Whoever scores this point will win.
- In subsequent games, the winners of the previous game serve first.
- Matches are best out of three: a player or pair must win two games (of 21 points each) to win the match.
- For the first rally of any doubles game, the serving pair may decide who serves and the receiving pair may decide who receives.
- The players change ends at the start of the second game; if the match reaches a third game, they change ends both at the start of the game and when the leading player's or pair's score reaches 11 points.
- The server and receiver must remain within their service courts, without touching the boundary lines, until the server strikes the shuttlecock. The other two players may stand wherever they wish, so long as they do not block the vision of the server or receiver.
- The shuttle lands outside the boundaries of the court.
- The whole shuttle shall be below the server’s waist at the instant of being hit by the server’s racket.
- The server’s racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle.
- Both feet must stay on the ground until the server contacts the shuttle.
- The shuttle is hit twice in succession by the same player.
- The racquet touches the net.
