Study Notes
Badminton Overview
- Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles).
- Players take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court separated by a net.
- Players score points by hitting a shuttlecock (birdie) over the net and landing it in their opponent's court.
- A rally ends when the shuttlecock touches the ground. Each side can only hit the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net.
History and Development
- The game's origins date back to the 5th century BC in China, known as "Ti Jian Zi".
- Centuries later, "Battledore and Shuttlecock" emerged in China, Japan, India, and Greece, involving hitting a shuttlecock with a paddle.
- Badminton gained popularity in 18th-century British India, initially called "Poona".
- The rules were standardized in England, and the sport was officially recognized in 1873 at Badminton House.
Scoring System
- Matches consist of the best of three games, each played to 21 points.
- A point is awarded to the winning side of each rally.
- Games are won by a margin of two points.
- At 20-all, the side that first reaches 21 points wins the game.
- If the score reaches 29-all, the side that first scores the 30th point wins the game.
- The side that wins the game serves first in the next game.
Singles Gameplay
- At the start of the game (0-0) and when the serving player's score is even, the serve originates from the right service court.
- The serve switches to the left service court when the score is odd.
- The server serves the shuttlecock to the receiver.
- Serving continues alternating between the left and right service court based on the score.
- Winning a rally awards a point to the server, and they continue serving.
- If the receiver wins the rally, they get a point and serve into the appropriate service court (right if score is even, left if score is odd).
Doubles Gameplay
- In doubles, the serving player continues serving, but after winning a rally.
- The partner takes the next service.
- Opponents remain in their designated service court until they win a rally.
- The player in the right service court serves if the score is even.
Faults
- Faults are errors in gameplay. Players can commit faults by:
- Failing to hit the shuttlecock over the net.
- Hitting the shuttlecock twice consecutively.
- Lifting a foot before hitting the shuttlecock.
- Hitting the base or the cork of the shuttlecock.
- Hitting the shuttlecock outside the boundaries of the court.
- If a fault occurs, the rally is replayed
Equipment
- Badminton racquet, shuttlecock (birdie), net, badminton court, appropriate athletic clothing and footwear.
Court Terminology
- Key Terms related to court positions and regions (e.g., front, back courts, service lines, courts, etc.) are included to help understand the playing area.
