What is Badminton?
HISTORY OF VOLLEYBALL!!
The origins of the game of badminton date back at least 2,000 years to the game
of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, China, and India, formed
in India by the British colonists in 1867. Interestingly, ball badminton – another
variation of the game involving wool balls instead of shuttlecocks - was popular in
southern parts of India. The modern version of Badminton is said to have its
origins in the city of Pune in India and was initially called 'Poona'. British Army
officers posted there were the first pioneers of the game who took it to Europe.
The game was played in 1873 in a place called 'Badminton House' in England,
from where it got its name.
RULES!!
A player must wait until his opponent is ready before serving. If the
opponent attempts a return then he is ruled having been ready.
The feet of both players must remain in a stationary position until the serve
is made. Your feet can not be touching the line at this time.
Faults
The shuttle, at the instant of being hit is higher than the servers waist or
the head of the racket is higher than the servers racket hand.
The server's feet are not in the service court or if the feet of the receiver are
not in the court diagonally opposite the server.
Any player balking or feinting his opponent before serve or during serve.
A serve or shot that lands outside the court boundaries, passes under or
through the net, touches any other obstructions or a players body or
clothing. The boundary and service lines are considered in play.
The shuttle in play is struck before it crosses the net to the striker's side of
the net. You may follow through over the net.
A player touching the net or its supports with his body or racket while the
shuttle is in play.
Scoring System
o At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
o In the third game, players change ends when the leading score reaches 11
points.
Singles
o At the beginning of the game (0-0) and when the server’s score is even, the
server serves from the right service court. When the server’s score is odd,
the server serves from the left service court.
o If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then serves again
from the alternate service court.
o If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new
server. They serve from the appropriate service court – left if their score is
odd, and right if it is even.
Doubles
o If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a point and the same
server serves again from the alternate service court.
o If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a point. The
receiving side becomes the new serving side.
o The players do not change their respective service courts until they win a
point when their side is serving.
