What is Badminton?

Badminton is a racquet sport played by two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who compete on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by hitting a shuttlecock with their racquet, making it pass over the net and land in the opponent's half of the court. Each side can only strike the shuttlecock once before it crosses the net, and a rally ends when the shuttlecock hits the floor.
