Scoring
Singles
 After each rally a point is scored
 You keep serving until you lose a rally, when the serve will go over to your opponent.
 You serve from the left if your score is odd. You serve from the Right if your score is even
 A set of badminton is completed when one player reaches 21 points
 If the score reaches 20-20, then the first player to gain a two point lead wins (e.g 25-23)
 If you reach 29-29 then the winner of the next point wins the set.
Doubles
Doubles scoring follows the same basic principles as singles scoring with a couple of additional points to remember.
 There is only one serve - if you lose a rally then the serve will still go over to your opponents.
 When a side wins a point and are serving, the players change sides with the same person continuing to serve.
 When a side wins a point and regains the serve, players do not change sides. If the score is odd the person on the left serves
and if the score is even the person on the right serves.
Serving
 The feet should be within the service box from which you are serving. This means you cannot have your feet on the lines that
form the boundary of the service box.
 Part of both feet must be on the ground and stationary throughout the serve.
 The receiver must stand within their service box and not move until the server has struck the shuttle.
 The backswing and follow through must be one continuous movement. This means there should be no “double motions” or
pause at the end of the backswing.
 At the point the shuttle is struck the racket should be pointing in a downward direction.
 At the point of being struck the shuttle should be below the waist (defined as the lowest rib).
