BADMINTON RULES:
COURT SIZE:
The standard size badminton court is 20 feet wide and 44 feet
long. The length and width can be increased or decreased based
on the space available.
NET:
Stretch the net across the center of the court dividing it in half.
The net height should be 5 feet in the center of the net and 5 feet
1 inch at the poles (bottom setting).
NUMBER OF PLAYERS:
In a doubles match, the game is played with four total players,
two on each side of the net.
A singles match is played with one player on each side of
the net.
SERVICE:
The game should begin by tossing a coin to see which
team serves first. The side that serves first is only allowed
one serve to start the game. After the game begins, each
team is allowed two serves.
SERVICE ROTATION:
The team that serves first must serve from their right half of the
court. (see diagram below).
lN DOUBLES: The serve must alternate from the right half court
to the left half court after each serve, so no player on the
opposing team receives two consecutive serves. Teammates
must serve consecutively.
IN SINGLES: The players serve from the right half court when
their score is "0" or an even number of points. Service is delivered
from the left half court on odd number points. If the team serving
makes a fault, one serve is lost. If the team receiving the serve
makes a fault, the team serving gets a point and continues the
serve. The serve must alternate from right and left half courts
after each serve as stated before.
THE GAME:
The game can be played to 15 or 21 points. The best two
out of three games wins the match. Teams shall change
court ends after each game.
SCORING:
Points are scored if a serve lands on the opponent’s court without
being volleyed back or if the opponent returns a volley outside of
the field of play. The player who gains the point retains the serve
until it is broken by the opponent.
SERVICE COURT ERROR:
1) A service court error has been made when a player has served
or received out of turn; or has served or received from the
wrong service court.
