Badminton  Definition of Badminton 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 player per side). DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION History of Badminton DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  History of Badminton Games employing shuttlecocks have been played for centuries across Eurasia, but the modern game of badminton developed in the mid-19 th century among the British as a variant of the earlier game of batteldore and shuttlecock. Early on, the game was also known as Poona or Poonah after the Garrison town of Pune, where it was particularly popular and where the first rules fir the game were drawn up in 1875. By 1875, officers returning home had started a badminton club and initially the sport was played with sides ranging from 1 to 4 players, but was quickly established that games between 2 or 4 competitors worked best. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  History of Badminton The sports was played under the Pune rules until 1887, when J. H. E. Hart of the Bath Badminton Club drew up revised regulations. In 1890, Hart and Bagnel Wild again revised the rules. The Badminton Association of England (BAE) published these rules in 1893 and officially launched the sport at a house called “dunbar”. The BAE started the first badminton competition, the All England Open Badminton Championships for gentlemen’s doubles, ladies’ doubles, and mixed doubles, in 1899. Single competitions were added in 1900 and an England-Ireland championship match appeared in 1904 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  History of Badminton England, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and New Zealand were the founding members of the International Badminton Federation in 1934, now knows as the Badminton World Federation (BWF). BWF now governs international badminton. Although initiated in England, competitive men’s badminton has traditionally been dominated in Europe by Denmark. Worldwide, Asian nations have become dominant in international like China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Badminton in the Philippines In Philippines, it was in the 1920 when British and American expatriates introduced badminton in the country. As early as 1950's, the International Badminton Federation (IBF) recognized the Philippines as its 21st member country. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Badminton in the Philippines In 1952, the Philippine Badminton Association (PBA) was created and became the first national badminton group, organized by 28 badminton clubs. In 1981, the Philippine badminton team participated in the Southeast Asian (SEA) games. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Equipments in Badminton DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Equipments Badminton racquets are lightweight, with top quality racquets weighing between 70 to 95 grams not including grip or strings. Badminton strings are thin, high performing strings with thicknesses ranging are more durable, but many players prefer the feel of thinner strings. Grip allows a player to increase the thickness of their racquet handle and choose a comfortable surface to hold. Shuttlecock is a high-drag projectile with an open conical shape: the cone is formed from sixteen overlapping feathers embedded into a rounded cork base. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Equipments Badminton rules also provide testing a shuttlecock for the correct speed. Badminton shoes are lightweight with soles of rubber or similar high-grip, non-marking materials. Compared to running shoes, badminton shoes have little lateral support.

He/She has the power to overrule any decisions made by the service judge or line judges. The umpire is the person ensuring that the badminton game is run smoothly and prevent any players from delaying the game play. The umpire also looks for the faults committed around the net area such as whether a player touched the net when returning the shuttle. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Officiates in Badminton Service Judges are the responsible in making a “service fault” call and to provide shuttles to players. Line Judges sits beside the badminton court (right in front of every in/out lines) to determine whether the shuttle is inside or outside the boundaries of the court.

Courts are usually marked for both singles and doubles play, although badminton rules permit a court to be marked for singles only. The doubles court is wider than the singles court, but both are of same length. The exception, which often causes confusion to newer players, is that the doubles court has a shorter serve-length dimension. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Court The full width of the court is 6.1 meters (20 ft) and in singles this width is reduced to 5.18 meters (17 ft). The full length of the court is 13.4 meters (44 ft). The service courts are marked by a centre line dividing the width of the court, by a short service line at a distance of 1.98 meters (6 ft 6 inch) from the net, and by the outer and back boundaries. In doubles, the service court is also marked by a long service line, which is o.76 meters (2 ft 6 inch) from the back boundary. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Court The net is 1.55 meters (5 ft 1 inch) high at the edges and 1.524 meters (5 ft) high in the center. The minimum height for the ceiling above the court is not mentioned in the Laws of Badminton. Nonetheless, a badminton court will not be suitable if the ceiling is likely to be hit on a high serve. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Court Dimensions DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Serving in Badminton DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Serving When the server serves, the shuttlecock must pass over the short service line on the opponents’ court or it will count as a fault. At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand diagonally opposite service courts. The server hits the shuttlecock so that it would land in the receiver’s service court. This is similar to tennis, except that a badminton serve must be hit below waist height and with the racquet shaft pointing downwards, the shuttlecock is not allowed to bounce and in badminton, the players stand inside their service courts unlike tennis. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Serving When the serving side loses a rally, the serve immediately passes to their opponent(s). In singles, the server stands in their right service court when their score is even, and in her/his left service court when her/his score is odd. In doubles, if the serving side wins a rally, the same player continues to serve, but he/she changes service courts so that she/he serves to a different opponent each time. Same as singles if the opponents win the rally with an even score, the player in the right service court serves; if odd, the player in the left service court serves. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Serving The players’ service courts are determined by their positions at the start of the previous rally, not by where they where standing at the end of the rally. A consequence of this system is that, each time a side regains the service, the server will be the player who did not serve last time. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Scoring in Badminton DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Scoring 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 two point lead (such as 24-22). When the game reaches to a tie at 29-all, the game goes into a golden point where whoever scores the first will win the game. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Scoring At the start of a match, the shuttlecock is cast and the side towards which the shuttlecock is pointing serves first. Alternatively, a coin may be tossed, with the winners choosing whether to serve or receive first, or choosing which end of the court to occupy first, and their opponents making the leftover remaining choice. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Scoring A match is the best of three games. The first player or team to get 2 wins will win the game. The players change ends at the start of the second round 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. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Lets in Badminton DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  Rules: Lets If a let is called, rally is stopped and replayed with now change to the score. Lets may occur because of some unexpected disturbance such as a shuttlecock landing on court (having been hit there by players playing in adjacent court) or in small halls the shuttle may touch an overhead rail which can be classed as a let. If the receiver is not ready when the service is delivered, a let shall be called; yet, if the receiver attempts to return the shuttlecock, the receiver shall be judged to have been ready.
