Study Notes
Badminton
- Badminton is a popular sport played as singles (two players) or doubles (teams of two).
- The objective is to hit a shuttlecock over a net into the opponent's court.
- Matches are typically best of three games, each played to 21 points.
- If both players/teams reach 20 points, the game continues until one side leads by 2 points (up to a maximum of 30).
Safety Measures in Badminton
For Players
- Wear prescribed P.E. uniforms.
- Perform appropriate warm-up exercises before starting the game.
- Visualize the court to anticipate movements and focus on the shuttlecock.
For Officials
- Ensure the court is free of obstructions and unnecessary materials.
- Line judges should stand at least 0.5 meters away from the lines to avoid being hit.
- Monitor all warm-ups.
Basic Concepts of Badminton
- A coin toss determines who serves first and which side of the net a player defends.
- The server's racket must initially hit the base of the shuttlecock while the whole shuttlecock is below the server's waist.
- In singles, the server serves from the right side when the score is even and from the left side when the score is odd.
- In doubles, service starts from the right court, alternating based on points scored.
- A point is won by hitting the shuttlecock to the floor on the opponent's side of the court or by the opponent failing to keep the shuttlecock in play.
- The shuttlecock is out of play if it fails to cross the net, lands on the floor, hits the ceiling, or if a fault is committed.
- A fault occurs when a player touches the net with their body or racket, hits the shuttlecock before it crosses the net, or is hit by the shuttlecock.
Singles
- At the beginning of the game (0-0), the server serves from the right when the score is even and from the left when the score is odd.
- Players alternate hitting the shuttlecock until a fault occurs or the shuttlecock goes out of play.
- If the receiver faults or the shuttlecock lands inside the receiver's court, the server scores a point and serves again from the alternate court.
- If the server faults or the shuttlecock lands in the server's court, the receiver becomes the server, and no points are awarded.
Doubles
- Service is delivered from the right court, alternating based on points scored.
- Only the designated receiver can return the service.
- After returning the service, either player on the serving or receiving side can hit the shuttlecock from any position on their side of the net.
- The player serving at the start of the game will serve from the right side when their side scores an even point and from the left side when they score an odd point.
- The player receiving at the start of the game will receive from the right side when their side scores an even point and from the left side when they score an odd point.
- Partners follow the opposite service court pattern.
- If the receiving side faults or the shuttlecock lands inside their court, the serving side scores a point and serves again.
- If the serving side faults or the shuttlecock lands inside their court, they lose the right to serve, and the receiving side scores a point.
- In the next game, any player from the winning side may serve first, and any player from the losing side may receive.
Service Error
- A service error occurs if a player serves out of turn, from the wrong court, or is standing in the wrong court while preparing to receive the serve.
- If an error is found before the next service, it will be a 'let' if the side that made the error won the rally. The error is not corrected if the side that made the error lost the rally. It will be a 'let' if both sides made an error.
- If a 'let' is called due to a service error, the rally is replayed with the error corrected.
- If the service error is found after the next service, the error is not corrected, and the game continues without changing the player's service courts.
Officiating in Badminton
- The referee oversees the entire tournament.
- The umpire works under the referee's authority and controls the court during the match.
- The service judge calls service faults, and their decision is final within their jurisdiction.
